Life

He was born on December 10, 1890, in Mount Healthy, Hamilton County, Ohio. In 1913, he moved to Wellsville, Allegany County, New York, and there engaged in the insurance business. During World War I he served in the U.S. Navy. He married Helene Paul (1897–1952), and they had three children.[1] Later he moved to Belmont, the county seat.

MacKenzie was a member of the New York State Assembly (Allegany Co.) from 1936 to 1960, sitting in the 159th, 160th, 161st, 162nd, 163rd, 164th, 165th, 166th, 167th, 168th, 169th, 170th, 171st and 172nd New York State Legislatures; and was Chairman of the committee on Ways and Means from 1953[2] to 1960.

He was an alternate delegate to the 1948 Republican National Convention.

In 1968, he gave his estate in Belmont to Alfred University, and went to live with his daughter's family in San Diego, California.

He died on November 2, 1972; and was buried at the Forest Hills Cemetery in Belmont.

gollark: The 15GB figure is for without images. With images (probably downscaled) my copy is 80GB.

gollark: Wikipedia fits into 15GB (minus user pages etc) and it uses horrible inefficient XML.

gollark: If you drop the images and HTML formatting and whatever else most ebooks contain, and do compression better than ZIP does, you could probably reach some *ridiculous* compression ratios.
