• Documents		Obituary- Kirkpatrick, Elizabeth 1 Obituary The subject of this sketch, Mrs. Lizzie Kirkpatrick was born at Olean, Ind. in the year 1862. She came with her parents to Rossville, Kans., when she was nine years of age. She united with the Rossville Presbyterian Church June 19th, 1880, at the age of eighteen years. She spent her girlhood days in the house north of town, joyous and happy as she mingled with the many young people of that time, and who shed tears of sorrow, when the last sad rites were spoken, as they recalled the past. She was married to Mr. Wm. Kirkpatrick March 17th, 1887. The marriage ceremony was performed in the Rossville Presbyterian Church, by the Rev. Wm. Howell in the presence of a large audience. Mrs. Kirpatrick possessed great kindness of heart, and a broad and tender sympathy, with an overwhelming sense of what she considered her own deficiencies; many times she had been heard to express regret that she had not accomplished more. She enjoyed doing what she considered elevating and whatever work was assigned her, she performed with great willingness and cheerfulness. Her chief concern was that her two children might accomplish all in their power; she was ever planning for their future as she so often expressed, she wanted them to accomplish what she had been unable to perform. She had been ill all winter and decided to go to Topeka for medical assistance and was advised to go to Christ’s Hospital, when she died Jan. 24, 1907, with her faculties unclouded to the last; her sufferings were intense and so many times she spoke of being tired, but that she soon would rest; she wanted to see her loved ones, and then rest. Thus did our dear sister enter into that “rest that remaineth” to the people of God.
  		Obituary- Kirkpatrick, Elizabeth 2 Death of Mrs. Kirkpatrick Mrs. W.J. Kirkpatrick died at Christ’s Hospital, Topeka last evening at 7 o’clock. The news came as a shock to the many friends here who were scarcely aware of her illness. Mrs. Kirkpatrick was taken to Christ’s hospital last Saturday and submitted to a delicate and hazardous operation Sunday morning. She rallied from the shock and it was thought she would recover. However, she lingered in the balance until Thursday noon when a change for the worse set in and her life went out in the early evening. The body will be brought home today (Friday) noon and while no definite arrangements have been made it is presumed the funeral services will be held Sunday.
