John McKenzie is a Scotch Canadian, and the background of his early life and experience was a thrifty farm on the north shore of Lake Erie. With the characteristic enterprise of his race he fitted himself for complete exercise of all the talents he possessed. He became a teacher and then qualified himself for the ministry. He has several degrees from colleges and universities, marking stages in his training for usefulness. For the past thirteen years West Virginia has been the scene of his activities. He has found time to do regular church work as a pastor, but the community at Philippi at least particularly appreciates the work he has done in building up a thoroughly modern and efficient school system for that city.
Mr McKenzie was born at Chatham, Ontario, July 20, 1874, son of Murdoch and Ann (Wilkinson) McKenzie, [b]oth of Scotch ancestry. His grandfather, Murdoch McKenzie, was born in the Scotch Highlands, representing one of the historic clans of the country, and on coming to America settled near Chatham, Ontario, and devoted the rest of his life to the farm. His son Murdoch was also a farmer, and died in August, 1920, at the age of eighty-two. Of his eight children six [...] John; Kenneth, a farmer at the old home; Alexander and Roland, also farmers near Chatham; Etta, wife of Robert Henderson; and Miss Mary Belle.
While a boy on the Ontario farm John McKenzie attended public school in a country district where the average term was ten and a half months. After completing his work in the Dover public school he entered the Chatham Collegiate Institute, finished the course there, and then trained for teaching in a model school at Chatham. For several years he taught in public school work, and followed that with a year in the Hamilton Normal School at Hamilton as a student of his chosen profession. He attended Toronto University one year, and after an intermission of two years, during which he did high school work, he returned to the University and graduated A. B. in 1903, being one of the honor men of his class. In preparation for the ministry Mr. McKenzie pursued his theological studies in Knox College of Toronto tor three years, graduating in 1906. In that year he was ordained minister of a church at Hornby, Ontario, and preached there two years. In the fall of 1908, continuing his higher education, he entered Yale University at New Haven, and in 1909 received his Master of Arts degree and the Bachelor of Divinity degree from the divinity school. ...
