178 BIOGRAPHICAL NOTICE OF JOHN KIRKPATRICK, 



strong, who is the husband of his only child, was at his 

 side very early, and said: ''Good morning, lather." The 

 reply was: "It is not a good morning i'or me." His power 

 of articulating here failed, and at 9 A. M., he quietly ceased 

 to breathe. 



In the history of Dumfries, Scotland, is a genealogy of 

 the Kirkpatricks. It appears that the grandfather of the 

 Empress Eugenie was of this familj'', and that it is of note 

 in Scotland. 



Mr. Kirkpatrick was appointed as Entomologist to the 

 Ohio Geological Survey during the present year. On this 

 subject he was so well posted that a report could have been 

 instantly made, if required, covering the whole ground. 



His proclivity seems to have been for societies and asso- 

 ciations. He was in the County Agricultural Society, 

 Horticultural Societies and a zealous Free Mason. The 

 Masons of Cleveland, at his own request, took charge of 

 his funeral and committed his remains to the grave with 

 imposing ceremonies. 



It behooves some of the numerous associations with 

 which he was connected to procure a full biography of so 

 valuable and remarkable a person.
