His father, Roderick McKenzie, was a pioneer there, and represented one of the
old and honored families of that province; and his mother, Jane (Simmons)
McKenzie, was descended from ancestors of high social and business
standing.
In the public school and high school of

into business life was in connection with the enterprise of one of the leading
wholesale clothing concerns of London, and his career at Sacramento dates from the year 1899. In the year last mentioned

management of which he showed a peculiar adaptability that early marked him for
the success he has achieved. In 1909 he purchased the business, and since
then has been the sole owner. In 1906 he married Miss Annie Davies, of Florin, Sacramento county. Fraternally he
