     George enjoyed sports. He was a golfer and enjoyed lawn bowling. He traveled a lot with his job as boss dyer and found places where he could enter various lawn-bowling tournaments.
          George came to the Philadelphia, PA from Scotland with his mother and three brothers when he was seven years of age. Sometime after his next brother was born, the family moved to Pawtucket, Providence, RI. George was schooled in Pawtucket. Later he met and married Wilhelmina McAlister Allan George and his wife had three children, but only two survived. While George and his family resided in Rhode Island, George owned and ran the Rayon Dye Works on the Blackstone River and the GM(GEM) Dye Works. This was where George was situated before and during the first part of the Great Depression.
          George Maxwell Mackenzie, Jr. was the first police commissioner for the City of Central Falls, State of Rhode Island, (1928-1929) and was appointed by Governor Norman S. Case.
          In the summer of 1915, as District Chief of Clan Frazer, George Maxwell Mackenzie, Jr. attended the National Convention of Scottish Clans of America. That year it was held in San Francisco, California. At the age of 33, he was the youngest Clan Chief to attend. His wife, Wilhelmina McAlister Allan Mackenzie and their children, Marian Maxwell Mackenzie and William McAlister Mackenzie left Rhode Island for California six weeks earlier than George. This was so they could visit with Wilhelmina's sisters, Emily and Maybelle in California.
     The trip by train took five days. While on the train his wife, Wilhelmina, met a woman with two children and they struck up a conversation. Wilhelmina said that she was traveling with the children alone and her husband would join her later in California. The other woman said she had her husband with her but he stayed in the sleeping car all day away from her and the children to try and avert any kind of trouble with the other passengers. He was a full-blooded Indian and felt other people would not understand the mixed marriage.
     After the convention was over with, the Mackenzie family returned to Rhode Island by train after spending a short vacation in Mexico.      During the latter part of the Great Depression, George moved his wife and became a representative for the Kali Chemicals in Philadelphia, Pa. Name variation: George Maxwell McKenzie Jr.

     Robert Henderson Kerr McKenzie was born in 1897. He died on 24 March 1918 at Pozieres, France. He was buried on 24 March 1918 in Pozieres Memorial in Pozieres, (Grave Reference/Panel Number:Panel 77 and 78) Robert H. K. McKenzie, Private, #303154, who died on Sunday, 24th March 1918. Age 20. 1st/8th Bn., Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders.
     Robert H. Kerr was the son of Mr. and Mrs. John McKenzie, of 735, Dumbarton Rd., Partick West, Glasgow.
          Pozieres is a village some 6 kilometres north-east of the town of Albert. The memorial encloses Pozieres British Cemetery which is a little south-west of the village on the north side ofthe main road, D929, from Albert to Pozieres.
     The Memorial commemorates over 14,000 casualties of the United Kingdom and 300 of the South African Forces who have no known grave and who fell in France during the Fifth Army area retreat on the Somme from 21 March to 7 August 1918. The Corps and Regiments most largely represented are The Rifle Brigade with over 600 names, The Durham Light Infantry with appr. 600 names, the Machine Gun Corps with over 500, The Manchester Regiment with appr. 500 and The Royal Horse and Royal Field Artillery with over 400 names.
     The Memorial relates to the period of crisis in March and April 1918 when the Fifth Army was driven back by overwhelming numbers across the former Somme battlefields, and to the succeeding period of four months during which there was built up, behind the new front, of the army, which on the 8 August 1918 began the Advance to Victory.
     On the road frontage is an open arcade terminated by small buildings and broken in the middle by the entrance and gates. Along the sides and the back, stone tablets are fixed in the stone rubble walls bearing the names of the dead grouped under their Regiments.
     It should be added that, although the memorial stands in a cemetery of largely Australian graves, it does not bear any Australian names. The Australian soldiers who fell in France and whose graves are not known are commemorated on the National Memorial at Villers-Bretonneux. Robert's name is also inscribed in the monument in the town square ofMilngavie, Scotland. (2.)

     He was confirmed at Church of Our Lady of Grace on 1 November 1905. His sponsor was Joseph F. Brandt.7 He was a First World War Veteran.1 Arthur Clarence Joseph McKeon was between 1918 and 1928 a policeman at Hoboken, NJ.1 He was between 1929 and 1931 an electrician for the brotherhood of electrical workers.1
     My mother met my father at her sweet sixteen party on
June 25, 1916. My father was a policeman for the Hoboken police Dept.
In 1918 he joined the US Army Signal Corps. He was mustered out in January of 1919. He married my mother (eloped )in NYC on June 6 1919.
In the 1920 census I found my mother living in Hoboken with her mother a nd two brothers,George and Thomas. MY mother was listed as single.
I couldn't find my father in the 1920 census.
My father and mother had four children. the first (Arthur born 1921 in July), LeRoy (aka Roy) Thomas Mckeon born May 1924, Raymond born 1925 and me (Marion born June 21 1927.
My father died of TB in July 1931. He is buried in Holy Cross Cemetery in N orth Arlington NJ.1
     Note dated July 1931 (NYC): I have to assume the marriage of Irene and Arthur was an elopement.
My reason to believe this is:
Arthur was released from the army in January of 1919
In the 1920 census Irene was living with her mother and two brothers six months after her marriage and Arthur is not found in the 1920 census. I will continue to look for Arthur. He may have re-inlisted but I cannot prove it. More research is needed.3 Name variation: Arthur Mckeon.1

     The only time I saw Harry Mckeon's name was on the baptism record of James Mckeon. After that (about 1860), he was not found in any census or directory. Nine years later his wife Mary Moran is found in the police census of 1890 married to James Malone with three more children. I also found Mary Moran Malone in the 1880 census with James Malone and six children.1

  • Harry Mckeon b. c 1910
     When Harry's father died in 1915 all his siblings were living at home in Hoboken. The siblings all helped support their mother who had no working skills. Harry was always unemployed. The family sent him out of the home because he wouldn't get a job to support the family or himself. He aspired to be an actor. He went to Philadelphia, PA. He adopted a son and never married. At age 57 he applied for Social Security in Philadelphia, PA. He stated on the social Security that he was unemployed. He moved to California and died there in Aug 18 1963. Harry was in Los Angeles County General Hospital with a broken leg and died there. No one claimed the body so the town buried him for free. (I do not know where his son was at this time). The witness who identified him at his death was Russell Banks, it is not known who he is (Nothing is known about how Russel Banks and Harry James Mckeon knew each other. He could have been just the person who discovered him dead.) Harry is buried in Queen of Heaven Cemetery in Rowland Heights California. I added his name to findagrave.com and gave him. flowers.
In 1945 he inherited money from his uncle Alfred Malone, but no one knew where he was. It is not known if he collected the inheritance. Not much is known about Harry. His sister May was in touch with him according to a letter she wrote to Ruth Taylor (Raymond McKeon Taylor's wife.)1
