Dr. Jemima and Dr. Mary Mckenzie were sisters. Daughters of Simon and Anne (Murray) Mckenzie of Waterside, Caribou. Both graduated from Dalhousie Medical School in the late 1890's to early 1900's. Both served with "Womens' Union Missionary Society of America" in Cawnpour/now Kanpur, India and then Fatehphur where Jemima was head of a hospital from 1906 to at least 1914. Mary married Rev. A.A. Smith from Pictou County.

Does anyone know how they are connected to father and son Pictou doctors, George McKenzie and John J. McKenzie?

Dr. John J. McKenzie married Charlotte Kayenbergh who was the matron of the Cottage Hospital in Pictou.

From 'Pictou County's History", by James M. Cameron, "became known as the Cottage Hospital, with a VON nurse sent from Montreal in charge, Miss Delaney. She was followed by two more from the same source, the Misses Dunn and Schwartz, until the appointment of a Pictou nurse, Miss Lottie Kayenburg".

Some how Jemima McKenzie and Charlotte Kayenbergh knew each other because among Charlotte's photos was a copy of Jemima' s graduation photo signed.

You can find pictures of Jemima, Mary and Rev. A.A. Smith on this site. http://www.rootsweb.com/~nspictou/photo.gal.15.htm
