General Notes: Husband - Rev. John H. Kirkpatrick


He and his wife lived at Armah, Indiana County, Pennsylvania, for five years, and from there removed to Harmony Presbyterian church, near Greenville, Pennsylvania, where they resided until their respective deaths.

Upon the report of his death to the Presbytery of Kittanning, of which he was the oldest member, the following minute was adopted:
"With a renewed impression of our own mortality, and of our obligation to 'work the work of Him that sent us while it is day,' Presbytery records the death of John H. Kirkpatrick, in the eighty-sixth year of his age, on the 20th of January, 1877, for nearly four years the oldest member of the Presbytery. Father Kirkpatrick was born in Westmoreland county, Pa., but in early life removed with his parents to Armstrong county, where he passed his academic studies under private tutors, and then graduated at Jefferson College in Cannonsburg, Pa. He studied theology under the venerable patriarch, Rev. Samuel Porter, of Congruity, the pastor of his childhood, and was licensed by the Presbytery of Redstone, about the year 1825. In 1826 he began to preach at the churches of Armah and Harmony in Indiana county, where he was ordained and installed the same year. About ten years later he demitted the charge of Armah and was soon after installed half his time as pastor at Washington church soon after its organization. Ten or twelve years later he was released from Washington and became stated supply at Rayne till about 1856, when on account of his crippled condition, and much exposure in riding on horse-back over a charge so extensive in regions so rugged, becoming prematurely debilitated, he resigning his charge and without changing his residence during the last twenty years of his life, awaited the Master's call."
