   SAMUEL KIRKPATRICK, M. D., a young practicing physician at Selma, Ala., was
born at Cahaba, Dallas county. Ala., August 19, 1865. His father is a prominent
and wealthy planter residing at Cahaba, Samuel M. Kirkpatrick. He was born in
Lowndes county, Ala. At the time of the breaking out of the war he owned a
prosperous manufactory of cotton gins, but the war broke up that enterprise and
since its close he has engaged in farming, in which occupation he has been
unusually successful. He is a man of great respectability and influence, but he
has never sought political preferment or honors. He married Sarah West, who was
born in Autauga county. She has borne her husband several children, but only
three of them are now living. Dr. Kirkpatrick was reared on the plantation and
received a liberal education at Greensboro and Auburn, Ala. He selected medicine
as his profession, and entered Vanderbilt university, completed a two years'
course in medicine, and graduated in 1888. Immediately after his graduation, Dr.
Kirkpatrick located at Selma, and soon secured a fine practice, which has
steadily increased, until now it is a lucrative as well as a large one. His
ability and his skill will undoubtedly enable him to rise high in his
profession, one of the most arduous as well as one of the most useful to
mankind. He is a member of the Dallas county Medical society, of which he is
secretary. He is also a member of the State Medical association, and of the
Dallas county board of censors. Taken altogether, it would certainly appear as
though Dr. Kirkpatrick has before him as bright a future as could be desired.
