From Gospel Advocate, 9 Feb 1911, page 190 (and submitted here by contributor Kendall Sparkman):
Dr. Samuel Tolbert Fanning Kirkpatrick was born on June 28, 1839, in Williamson County, Tenn., where the greater part of his life was spent. For the past few years he had lived in Nashville, Tenn., where he died on January 27, 1911. His body was taken to Franklin, and the funeral services, attended by a large number of the citizens and his friends, were held in the church, being conducted by J. W. Shepherd and James E. Scobey. He was buried at Mount Hope Cemetery.
In his early life he studied medicine, and for years, in the vicinity of Franklin, he practiced his profession. He married, October 15, 1862, Miss Almira Peay, and from this union sprang nine children. He is survived by his wife and six children.
When quite a young man, he embraced the religion of Christ. He was a consistent and devoted worker in the vineyard of the Lord, fully determined to secure for himself the blessings of a life consecrated to doing good, and to influence and help others secure the comforts and consolations of the gospel of Christ. He was a subscriber to and reader of the Gospel Advocate from the first number published to the close of his earthly career.
I have known him for more than a quarter of a century as a consistent, Christian gentleman. I have never heard his conduct seriously criticized, his uprightness called in question, his business integrity challenged, or his honesty impeached. If he did wrong, he was open to conviction, and never, when convinced or convicted, did he fail to confess his wrongs, whether in thought, word, or deed.
But, after all, he was, like all men, frail, liable ever to sin and liable to death. He fought the battle of life like a faithful soldier of the cross, leaving behind him the odor of a good name, an inheritance for his family more valuable than silver and gold. May they all, as well as all his friends, emulate the good in his character, seeking, as he sought, through the grace of God and the gospel of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, to be heirs to that inheritance which is incorruptible, undefiled, and that fadeth not away.
We sorrow for the death of our dear brother; but we sorrow in hope that the unfading crown of righteousness may, by the hands of the loving Lord, be placed upon the brow of this faithful soldier of the cross.
James E. Scobey.
