MR. ED KIRKPATRICK DIED YESTERDAY
Was Well-Known Citizen of County and for Ten Years Had Been Mail Carrier Here.
Mr. Ed Kirkpatrick, a native and prominent resident of the county, and for the past 10 years a mail carrier in the city, died yesterday morning at 3 o'clock at St. Peter's Hospital where he was taken Wednesday afternoon for an operation.
His death came as a painful shock to relatives and friends, few of whom were aware of his illness. the first indication of his condition was given a few days ago when he was attacked by a toothache and his jaw began to swell. Wednesday he consulted a physician who advised a slight operation to which he consented. It was found that his jaw was badly infected and that the poison had permeated his system. He did not rally from the operation and did not regain consciousness.
Mr. Kirkpatrick was a native of Sharon Township, where he was born 69 years ago, in 1856. He was a son of the late Hutchison and Cynthia Kirkpatrick. His ancestors came to this country in 1762 and settled in Sharon within six miles of the place where Mr. Kirkpatrick spent many years of his life. He married Miss Blandina Brown of Sharon. The following named children, eight in number, survive: Fred, Mrs. Charles Hubbard, Mary, Helen, Richard, Lula, Jennie and Thomas. One brother, Mr. J. Walker Kirkpatrick of Sharon, and one sister, Mrs. J. P. Reid of Gastonia, also survive.
Mr. Kirkpatrick was a member of Sharon Presbyterian Church, with which he united in early life. He was originally connected with the organization and was a choir leader. The funeral service will be held there this morning at 11 o'clock, conducted by Rev. C. H. Little.
A graduate of Trinity College, and a classmate of Judge B. F. Long and Senator Overman, Mr. Kirkpatrick was a man of alert mind. He was interested in public affairs and was also a practical and successful farmer. Ten years ago he came here with his family and secured a position as Government mail carrier.
Among his acquaintances both in the city and in the rural sections, Mr. Kirkpatrick was highly regarded for his fine qualities of character and exerted a potent influence for good.
