She was the daughter of a Presbyterian minister, and from her girlhood down to the ripe age of 91 years was a faithful Christian [sic]. Just as she was budding into womanhood she married F.E. Kirkpatrick with whome she lived happily until the breaking out of the Civil War when Mr. Kirkpatrick heard the call of his country and enlisted in the Confederate army and in 1863 made the supreme sacrifice on the field of battle, leaving his widow and 3 children to fight the battles of life without his help and counsel.
