Cozad Local, Cozad, Nebraska,Tuesday, April 18, 1939, page 5 col. 4-6: Mrs. Addie Kirkpatrick: Addie Florence Kirkpatrick was born September 7, 1960 at Fairfield, Iowa and departed this life April 13, 1939 at her home nine miles north of Cozad, at the age of 78 years 7 months and 6 days. On September 6, 1877, she was united in married to Irenious Roscoe Kirkpatrick of Fairfield, Iowa, and to this union were born five children: three sons and two daughters. Two sons, Orvil and Verne, preceded their mother in death and the husband and father, I.R. Kirkpatrick, passed away January 1920. Mrs. Kirkpatrick was converted at the Chapel church near Fairfield, Iowa and remained a faithful and devoted believer to the end. On moving to Cozad Mr. and Mrs. Kirkpatrick brought their church letters and were instrumental in helping to organize the Walnut Grove church where Mrs. Kirkpatrick was affectionally known as "Grandma Kirkpatrick." This good woman leaves to mourn her loss one son, John of Laramie, Wyo., two daughters Mrs. Bertha Klein of Callaway and Mrs. Alfred Anderson of Cozad: one sister, Estella Ramsey of Fairfield, Iowa, two sisters-in-law Effie Campbell of Richland, Iowa and Mary Crumley of California, eight grandchildren, six great grandchildren, other relatives and a host of loving friends and neighbors. Mrs. Kirkpatrick had been in poor health for some time and had failed rapidly since the death of her son, Orvil, on July 28, 1938. Orvil had made his home with his mother for the past thirteen years, caring for her in her declining years and rendering the many little acts of kindness that helped to brighten the days. Her loneliness since his death has been hard to bear and grandma Kirkpatrick, so patient in her suffering was glad to go--happy to be with her Savior and those waiting in the Home where there will be no more tears or sorrow. Funeral services were held in the Walnut Grove church Sunday afternoon, Rev. George Alond officiating. A large number of friends and neighbors in attendance and the lovely floral tributes here their testimony to the love and affection with which Mrs. Kirkpatrick was regarded by all. Interment was in the Walnut Grove cemetery.--Contributed.
