Charles Kilpatrick is another of the typhoid fever's victims of 1897. He passed peacefully away last Sunday, Oct 3, at 12:05 pm, at the home of his father, Ezekiel Kilpatrick, near Shambaugh. His illness was of five weeks' duration, and followed closely that of his brother, James L. Kilpatrick, who died in Clarinda, also of typhoid fever, Aug 7, last. It was two months yesterday since the death of James. At that time Charles had apparently a long life before him. He had helped to care for his brother in his last illness, and as time proved his own fatal illness was near at hand. During the siege of the fever, his friends, who were very many, hoped earnestly that he might recover, and awaited news from his bedside with eagerness to hear that he was better, and although there was some promise of his getting well, recovery was not to be, and a family and community bereft so recently of his brother, was called upon to past from him, and to experience the grief and sorrow inseparable from the death of one loved and respected by all who knew him, as was he. Charles Kilpatrick was born June 15, 1856, at Spring Mill, Montgomery county, Pa. Surviving him are his father, Ezekiel Kilpatrick, near Shambaugh, Ia., a brother, John, near Hawleyville, Ia., his mother, Mrs Ellen Kilpatrick, and two brothers, William and Daniel, at Conshohocken, Pa., two other brothers, Ezekiel and Robert, at Philadelphia, and one sister, Mrs William Jackson, at Chestnut Hill, Pa. The funeral was held Tuesday in the Methodist Episcopal church at Shambaugh, Rev D.M. Buckner officiating, and the service was largely attended. The floral offerings were numerous and very beautiful. The remains were laid at rest in the Clarinda cemetery, by the side of the brother (James) of the departed. CLARINDA JOURNAL, Clarinda, Iowa, Oct 8, 1897
