• Documents		Obituary- Kirpatrick, Harry 1 Death of Harry E. Kirkpatrick This community and especially the older citizens felt the keen shock of affliction and sorrow when the report came on Dec. 15 that the boy, to us who had known Harry so well, so favorably and so lovingly, had died in the hospital at Leeds, S.D. As the news spread sorrow was depicted upon every countenance and the sympathy of this community went out to the brothers, sisters and relatives, and when his brother, W.J. Kirkpatrick, started for the remains there were those who were only too glad to offer any service they could in his sad journey. Anxious inquiries were made until his return, bringing with him all that was mortal of his brother Harry. The body was met at the train by the members of the family, the Masonic brethren of Hesperian Lodge, No. 111, A.F. & A.M. and a large concourse of friends, and taken to the home of his brother, W.J. Kirkpatrick, from which place he was buried the day following. [From The Shawnee County News, December 27, 1901]
  		Obituary- Kirkpatrick, Harry 2 The services were held in the Presbyterian church, Rev. J.G. Maver officiating. After the services at the church, the Masons took charge and repaired to the cemetery where the Masonic burial service was carried out. Masons being present from surrounding towns. Harry Kirkpatrick had grown up in this community from infancy to manhood and had the respect, confidence and esteem of the entire community, everybody loving and respecting the boy of excellent habits, gentle manly behavior, and courteous actions. Harry went to Omaha some ten years ago where he engaged in engineering as his chosen profession, always enjoying the entire confidence of his employers and the love and respect of his fellow workers. While in Omaha, Harry became a Master Mason and in the short space of 3 years received up to and including the 32 degree of Scottish Rite Masonry. In manhood, as in youth, Harry carried with him the love, respect and confidence of everybody about him and his high standing in the esteem of his Masonic brethren and fellow workmen was best expressed by the sorrow all of them felt at his death and the beautiful floral offerings sent from his fellow workmen, the Masonic brethren and the Consistory and Shrine, of Omaha, where he had his Masonic membership. Harry had been called here in September by the death of his sister, Mrs. Olive Van Vleck and had renewed his acquaintance with old friends and made many new ones and all feel his loss and extend to the family and relatives their most sincere sympathy.
