Charles H. McKenzie - Arizona
I am looking for information on Charles H. McKenzie. Charles was born in 1855 in Middle River (now Alma) NS. When his father John died the following instruction to John was in his will: to give Charles H. McKenzie my son a good english Education and to treat him to a trade if he wish it and to maintain him while at it in
clothing and shoes. I understand this trade was possibly a blacksmith. The only other info I have on Charles is the following obit of his mother from Sept 25, 1903 indicating Charles is still living in Arizona. Can anyone help with where he lived in Arizona, If he married , who his family is, where Charles and his wife, if he had one, might be buried, When he died (to source an Obit) and any children they might have had. Also any info on his brothers Daniel and Alex would be helpful.
