Cuthbert McKenzie

Cuthbert McKenzie (12 April 1851 - 16 February 1926) was an Australian politician.

He was variously a merchant, coastal trader and whaler until 1881, when he married Grace Cheyne Moir and went into business in Albany as the proprietor of the Freemason's Hotel, then as a storekeeper and then publican in York Street.

[1][12] He was unable to tour the electorate during the campaign due to health issues, but campaigned on a platform of a reduction in the property qualification for Legislative Council franchise, introducing a local option for prohibition of alcohol, the establishment of a public works committee, building new railways in the region and reforming the system for taking up land.

[1] He lived in retirement after leaving politics and was practically confined to his home due to ill health from late 1925.

He died in 1926 and was buried in the Church of England section of the Old Albany Cemetery.
