He was called "Yankee John" to distinguish him from about 5 or 6 other John MacKenzies in the Rose Valley area in the 1870s and onward.

From obituary in Leadville Colorado Herald (no date):
The funeral of Mr John MacKenzie took place yesterday from the residence of Mr Samuel D. Nicholson. Rev. A. Grant Evans officiating and was very largely attended. Among others, the Messrs. MacKenzie from Victor and Mr Murt Nicholson from Lake City were present. For some time previous to his death Mr MacKenzie had noticed various premonitory symptoms of heart weakness, but without experiencing any serious suffering or entertaining any fears of fatal results. On the day of his death he went to work as usual, but early in the afternoon quit work complaining of a pain in the chest. He went to his house after seeing a neighbor and arranging with the latter to go to work in his place. In the evening the mine foreman and engineer called to see him, but getting no reply on knocking at his door, they concluded he had gone to his nephews (Mr Nicholson) or downtown. Not having seen him in the meantime they became uneasy on the following evening and called the matter to Mr Nicholson's attention, who at once proceeded to Mr MacKenzie's house, and having affected an entrance found that he had passed peacefully away, no doubt shortly after retiring on his return from work Saturday afternoon.
The deceased lived for many years in Rose Valley, P.E.I. which he left about years ago. He leaves a large family in Rose Valley. Coroner Price of Leadville was summoned and took charge of the remains. The deceased was about 52 years of age and leaves a large number of friends and relatives in P. E. Island to mourn the loss of a kind and generous father and friend.
