History
Brothers William, Thomas and Alexander Mackenzie moved from Manitoba to Alberta in 1907. Alex settled in Bowden, Alberta and his brothers raised horses near Bassano and Countess, Alberta. Billy also worked as a road and railway contractor in the district before his death at a young age. Tom later raised Galloway cattle before his retirement to Bassano, and later Calgary. The Mackenzie brothers had one sister Elsie (Scow), who also retired in Calgary after living for many years in Los Angeles.
