General Notes: Husband - David L. Kirkpatrick


He was about ten years old when his parents moved to Alle­gheny and he was sixteen years of age when he accompanied his brother James to Center Township, Butler County, where he remained engaged in farming until after his marriage, when he located at what is now the village of Renfrew, but was then only a piece of the wilderness. There he engaged in farming for his brother-in-law, David A. Renfrew, for two years, and then settled on his father-in-law's farm, where he lived until 1862, when he enlisted for service in the Civil War. He entered Company E, One Hundred Sixty-ninth Regiment, Penna. Volunteer Infantry, and remained in service for nine months, until July, 1863, doing garrison duty at Yorktown. He was then ordered to join the Army of the Potomac and four days after reaching Gettysburg was given an honorable discharge. For a number of years after his return to Center Township he continued to farm there, but in 1886 he came to Renfrew, just after the excitement in that section owing to the discovery of oil. He established a coal yard and a teaming business. As a coal merchant he was known from one section of the township to the other, so ex­tensive was his business, his shipments for a time being three and four car loads a day. He retired from business carrying with him the cordial friendship and re­spect of those with whom he had had com­mercial relations covering more than a decade.
