1902

OBITUARY-KIRKPATRICK

Died, at his home in the village of Livingston, Wis., Dec
14, 1902, Vance L. Kirkpatrick, who was born in the town
of Miflin, July 3rd, 1834, and was therefore 68 years, 5
months and 11 days old at the time of his death.

Mr. Kirkpatrick was the fourth son of the late Francis C.
Kikerpatrick, who died in Clifton, Wis., on the 3rd day of
June 1877, and who sprang from Revolutionary stock, and of
a hardy, Scotish race, and was among the first settlers of
Wisconsin Territory, the father coming here in 1827, and
this neighborhood has been Mr. Kirkpatrick's home all the
days of his life.

Mr. Kirkpatrick was united in marriage to Miss Mary
Hannon, May 25, 1862, from this union five children were
born, to wit; Sarah Augusta, now Mrs. Bailey, Vance M.,
Catharine D. Enloe, now deceased, Annie B., now Mrs.
Billings and Mary E., at home.

Mr. Kirkpatrick's father's family consisted of father and
mother, 6 sons and 4 daughters, and this is the second
death among the children.

He was a man of few words, always doing what seemed to him
his duty. The Golden Rule was his criterion. In politics
he was a Jackson democrat, in religion he was liberal,
ever believing in the fundamental principals underlying
all religions, the existence and prividence of God.

Rev. Vincent, of Montfort, conducted the funeral services
at the M.E. church in Livingston, and the interment was at
the old Kirkpatrick cemetery in the town of Mifflin. And
thus another pioneer has gone to the land of our fathers.
