Notes
a. Note:   Obituary Effingham Democrat (Effingham, IL) Thursday, December 19, 1878
  "An old lady, named McKenzie, who was visiting a daughter here died suddenly Saturday morning. She also has relations living near Moccasin. Her remains were buried Sunday afternoon at the Catholic cemetery."
  About Nancy (Logue) McKenzie, very little of any factual nature is known other than her ancestry. However, in terms of family stories, according to the late Lewis Rhodes, his great-grandmother Nancy once owned a pet cow that allowed no one but this woman to milk her. From a family story that Lewis often heard, at one time his great-grandmother Nancy became ill. Apparently, the cow would not cooperate and allow anyone to milk her. It was quickly decided that Lewis's mother, Nancy (McKenzie) Rhodes, grandaughter of Nancy Logue McKenzie, should put on her grandmother's clothes, and then the cow, recognizing the scent of its owner, would hopefully permit Mrs. Rhodes to milk her. As a joke on the cow, the deception evidently worked until Nancy (Logue) McKenzie recovered sufficiently to resume her daily task.
  Nancy (Logue) McKenzie died on Saturday, December 14, 1878. According to the vital statistics cards at the Effingham IL County Court House, she died at approximately 7:00 a.m. at 74 years, 8 months, 19 days; the cause of her death was typhoid fever.
  Records at St. Anthony of Padua Church in Effingham reveal that Anna McKeansey, whose husband was Gabriellis McKeansey, was buried from St. Anthony on December 15, 1878.
