Funeral services for Mrs. Mabel L. McKenzie, 75, who died at 12:30 p.m. on Thursday, June 20, at St. Joseph’s hospital in Marshfield, where she has been taken the day before, were conducted at 2 o’clock Tuesday afternoon at the First Presbyterian church in Marshfield. A complication of ailments caused her two-year illness and subsequent death.

The Rev. Arthur R. Oates had charge of the rites, and burial was made in the Loyal cemetery. During the service, "In the Garden" and "Safe in the Arms of Jesus" were sung by Mrs. J. H. Cundy and Mrs. Harley Oligney.
