Show detail Hide detail

McKenzie, Donald, 1799-1884 : The Rev. Donald McKenzie was born, 1 January 1799, in Dores, Inverness-shire, Scotland, and educated at Aberdeen and Edinburgh.

In 1833, the Synod of Ross invited him to be their missionary in Upper Canada and he was ordained for that purpose, 16 April 1834, by the Presbytery of Dingwall. He arrived in Canada in mid-1834 and in June 1835 was inducted as minister of the congregation in Zorra, Oxford County. He served there until his retirement in 1872. His interest in education led to his appointment in 1844 as superintendant of education in Zorra. He himself taught elementary subjects as well as the classics and was instrumental in having schools built and teachers certified. He died, 8 April 1884, at Ingersoll.
