Alice Rebecca Kirkpatrick

(9 Oct 1871 - Mar 1948)

Rebecca Kirkpatrick and her twin Sallie Annice, were born 9 October 1871. Rebecca died in March of 1948. She married Benjamin Winston Dilworth, who was born 9 December 1871 and died 31 December 1949.

Rebecca was a strong-willed woman and a devout Methodist. When she was fifty years old she learned to drive, and for the next twenty years she bought a new car every year and drove frequently from her home in Hatley to Amory, Mississippi, until poor health forced her to stop driving. She attended church at the First Methodist Church in Amory, although she lived in Hatley. She was once honored by the church for having had a perfect attendance record at Sunday School for twenty years.

There were ten (10) children born of the marriage.

Her gravestone reads Alice Rebecca Dilworth.
