Early Life
Malcolm McKenzie was born in Kincardine, Ontario, in 1863. He attended Queens University, from which he graduated with a gold medal in philosophy, and then studied for a year in Toronto. He came west around 1888 and, after a brief stay in Calgary, settled in MacLeod, where he joined the law firm Haultain, McKenzie and McNeill. That firm dissolved when its senior partner, Frederick W. A. G. Haultain, went to Regina to serve as the first Premier of the Northwest Territories. McKenzie established another law firm with John McDonald and another lawyer; that firm was called McDonald, Martin and McKenzie.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not; it is the first lesson that ought to be learned; and however early a man’s training begins, its probably the last lesson that he learns thoroughly.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“What quarrel, what harshness, what unbelief in each other can subsist in the presence of a great calamity, when all the artificial vesture of our life is gone, and we are all one with each other in primitive mortal needs?”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
