We learn from the Rockbridge Nelcs that
Captain William M. Kirkpatrick died at the
residence of his son, William kirkpatrick, at
Alone Mills, Rockbridge county, on Thursday
evening, August 4th. His death was in the
main produced by the decline and the giving
away of his strength produced by old age.
He was born ON what is now known as the
Cameron place" east of Lexington, in De-
cember, 1909, and was therefore in his o3rd
year. He was of one of the old Scotch-Irish
families of this region, his father having emf
grated from the north of Ireland in the 18th
century. He married Catherine McKemy of
the neighborhood, where he lived and died.
To them were born seven sons, all of whom
reached manhood and were well-known citl-
zcns except one, who died young. These are:
John A., R. D., C. W., William, Samuel l..
and Owens Kirkpatrick. These survive, ex-
cept Samuel L. Kirkpatrick who died two
years ago.
His funeral services were conducted by Rev.
Mr.. Shreckhise of the Lutheran church, and
he was buried ON Friday evening, August 9Th,
at the Alone cemetery in the presence OF a
large gathering of his neighbors, with whom
he was very popular.

in the spring of 1874, and in Octo-
Der, 1874 he was or dained as minister by
Lexington Presbytery, when he became pastor
of the church at Broadway, Rockingham Co.,
and remained as such to 1880, when he was
called to Pulaski Tenn, where he served till
last winter when he accepted a call to Bristol,
Tenn, where he rendered able and faithful
service till he was stricken down by disease
which terminated his useful life on last Thurs
