Jacob Kirkpatrick

  Jacob Kirkpatrick, one of the most widely known and highly respected 
citizens of Hastings, died at his home in that place on Thursday of 
last week, aged sixty-four years.  His death was caused by pneumonia 
and followed a comparatively short illness.  Mr. Kirkpatrick was the 
youngest of the famous Kirkpatrick brothers, long known as the largest 
and most powerfully built family in Northern Cambria county.  He was 
one of the pioneers in that section and had seen it grow from a forest 
to a busy mining region.  He was always an active and uncompromising 
Democrat and for many years was a familiar figure at conventions.  A 
large family connection survives him, most of whom are residents of 
that part of the county.
