His first marriage was to the daughter of the Honourable D. Farquharson of Prince Edward Island. She would die in mysterious circumstances. He then married Florence Smith of Lunenburg, Nova Scotia on October 1904, only to die himself in sudden circumstances ten years later. His obituary describes his life: The death took place early Sunday morning after a brief illness of a few days of J. Henry MacKenzie, one of the wealthiest and best known men of Pictou County. Mr. MacKenzie was 47 years of age and was apparently in good health up to the time of the sickness which resulted in his death… Mr. MacKenzie spent nearly all his life in Pictou at his country home Seaforth on the Beaches Road. When a young man he was in the employ of the Merchants Bank of Canada and left it on becoming the heir of his grandfather, the late Roderick MacKenzie, in his time one of the wealthiest merchants of Pictou, doing a big business with the British West Indies. Mr. MacKenzie was very fond of country life and carried on farming on a fairly large scale for a number of years. he traveled considerably at different times in America and Europe … This week would have witnessed the tenth anniversary of his marriage to his second wife. The funeral will be held on Sunday afternoon. A short service will take place at the house and the funeral will commence at 3 p.m. Internment will be in the New Cemetery" [Pictou Advocate, 31 October 1914, p. 1]. The funeral itself was "… one of the largest ever seen in Pictou. Over fifty carriages followed the hearse from the home to St.Andrew's Church and from the church there were hundreds who walked. The band, of which the deceased had been a generous patron, marched and played in the funeral procession." [Pictou Advocate, November 1914] His widow later married Thomas Lott of Pictou, and then promptly died. A custody battle followed, in which the surviving children were adopted by their uncle and aunt, Henry Hatton and Margaret (née MacKenzie) Crerar [19 July 1918 Pictou Advocate, p. 8].
