Jacob Kirkpatrick
Jacob Kirkpatrick, one of the most widely known and highly respected citizens of Hastings, died at his home in that place on Thursday of last week, aged sixty-four years. His death was caused by pneumonia and followed a comparatively short illness. Mr. Kirkpatrick was the youngest of the famous Kirkpatrick brothers, long known as the largest and most powerfully built family in Northern Cambria county. He was one of the pioneers in that section and had seen it grow from a forest to a busy mining region. He was always an active and uncompromising Democrat and for many years was a familiar figure at conventions. A large family connection survives him, most of whom are residents of that part of the county. |
