James Douglas Kirkpatrick

(23 Feb 1867 - 8 Mar 1933)

On 23 February 1867, James Douglas Kirkpatrick was born in Cook's Ferry, British Columbia, Canada. James' father, Thomas Gillham Kirkpatrick had married four times. James' mother was Thomas' third wife. His mother's name is unknown, though it is known that she came from the Snapah Indian Reservation. (See Thomas Gillham Kirkpatrick's Notes for more information).

James grew up in the Cariboo country of British Columbia, and the Kirkpatricks were very well known in the area.

In the summer of 1894, James went up to Dog Creek with his brother John. The two ended up staying and spent the winter feeding cattle and doing chores for various farmhands in the area. That was where James met Emma Bowe, the daughter of German business man, Herman Otto Bowe. Emma and James were married in 1895.

There were eleven (11) children born of the marriage.
