Kirtland had been affected with the disease since he had the grip several years ago, but last summer was unusually well until August, when the old trouble came on again when he was attending the Methodist camp meeting at Plainville. Since that time he has been steadily failing, having suffered greatly, and for the last six weeks had been unable to lay down. During the past two weeks he was in semi-un- conscious condition most of the time. Mir. Kirtland was born in Westbrook, and he has sister, Mrs. F. w. Spencer, residing there. Two brothers, Jared and William Kirtland, reside in Meri- den, and another brother, Charles Kirt- land, resides in Pueblo, Col. He was of a family of eight children and the first of the brothers to die. One son, Henry Kirtland, lives in Richmond, Oklahama, and the two daughters are Mrs. George | H. Spohr of S1 Chambers street and Mrs. John Stannard of Centerbrook. One of the grandchildren is Mrs. A. E. Mack of lOS East Pearl street. MT, Kirtland learned the shoemakers' trade in Essex and afterwards removed to this city, where he has resided for the last forty-two years. For several years he was in the oyster business, first in the firm of Pardee, Rowe & Kirkland, and later the firm of H. M. Rowe & Co.,. During the latter years of his life he was doing shoemaking again, and for a number of years had a shop in Ferry street, but gave up business about two years ago. He was one of the oldest members of the East Pearl M. E. church and previously had been con- nected with the same denomination, first in Essex and later in Westbrook. He was member of the official board of the East Pearl street church many years, class leader and formerly su- perintendent of the Sunday school. He was fine old gentleman, genial and having many friends, and will be great ly missed. He leaves a widow, who was formerly Miss Lorinda Mack, ot Essex. She is within few years of the age of the deceased. About four years ago they celebrated their golden we'd ding.
