| 3225 | Succumbs To Pain That Kills. Dr. Ross C. Kirkpatrick Has Passed Away. Practically Died in Harness, but Realized Impending Death – Busy and Useful Life Brought to Sudden End by Attack of Angina Pectoria. “This is the pain that Kills,” were the last words of Dr. Ross C. Kirkpatrick, as he was suffering from the throes of angina pectoria, on a couch in his office yesterday. The veteran physician knew whereof he spoke, for the death dew was already on his brow, and in a few moments he had passed away. Dr. Kirkpatrick was one of the most prominent members of the medical fraternity in Los Angeles, and his death which occurred at 3:15 o’clock yesterday afternoon, was altogether unexpected. He practically died in the harness of the profession in which he had labored so long and faithfully, for almost up to the very hour of his demise he was ministering to his patients. For some days the doctor had complained of a pain in his chest, and when he left his home at No.1954 South Grand avenue yesterday morning for his office at No.114 South Spring street, he appeared to be suffering more than usual. The pain was quite severe when he reached his office, but after he sat and rested awhile by the fire he felt better, and he spent the forenoon in chatting with his office associates, Dr. W.C. Parker and Dr. F.R. Frost. He also paid some little attention to his patients. He was cheerful and discussed business matters with Dr. Parker during the morning. About 2 o’clock in the afternoon he had a recurrence of the severe pain over his heart, and Drs. Parker and Frost became salaamed at his condition. Sedatives to soothe his pain were given him, and he was made a comfortable as possible on a lounge in his office. During a lull in his suffering he requested Dr. Parker to get some paper and ink and do some writing for him. “There are some things I would like to have recorded in writing in case I should pass away,” said he, but Dr. parker begged him not to disturb himself with forebodings of death. “You will be all right be tomorrow,” said Dr. Parker, encouragingly. “and then you can attend to writing better.” Meanwhile Dr. Frost had telephoned to Dr. Kirkpatrick’s house, requesting that Mrs. Kirkpatrick come to the office, but she, having been apprehensive of her husband’s health all day, was already on the way uptown with the intention of taking him home if he was feeling no better than he did when he left the house in the morning. When Mrs. Kirkpatrick arrived at the office shortly before 3 o’clock, she found her husband very ill indeed. His mind was as clear as usual, however, and he tried to make a cheery show of not being dangerously sick. One of his last acts was to send for a good cigar, but he was persuaded not to smoke it. As his condition grew worse Drs. Lasher and George L. Cole were sent for, and they, in addition to Drs. Parker and Frost, applied restoratives, but could not check his sinking spell. During one of the paroxysms of pain the sufferer turned to his wife and gasped: “This is the pain that kills.” The words were prophetic, for almost immediately his heart stopped beating, and the well-beloved physician was dead. Dr. Ross C. Kirkpatrick was born in Clarion county, Pennsylvania, December 15, 1842, so he was but a few months pat 60 years of age at the time of his death. At the age of 19 he enlisted as a private in defense of the Union, and served with distinction throughout the Civil War. He was seriously wounded at the battle of Chancellorsville, but remained in the army until the final mustering out of volunteers in 1865. He was one of the men who stood guard over the White House when President Lincoln’s remains were lying in state. After the war Kirkpatrick was graduated from Starling Medical College at Columbus, O. He began the practice of medicating in his native town, New Bethlehem, Pa. In 1871, in company with his brother-in-law, Dr. W.C. Parker, he removed to Bellefontaine, O., where they practiced for nearly one year, and then for three years he practiced in partnership with his brother, the late Dr. John C. Kirkpatrick, and Dr. Parker at Mansfield (now Carnegie) Pa. In 1874 Dr. Ross C. Kirkpatrick came to California and settle at Pomona, where he remained about five years, when he removed to Los Angeles, where he has been in active practice of his profession ever since. His brother, Dr. John C. Kirkpatrick, who died about a year ago, came to Los Angeles after he did, as did also his brother-in-law, Dr. W.C. Parker. Dr. Kirkpatrick leaves a widow and four children – Dr. John L. Kirkpatrick, Miss Edith, Ross and Miss Katherine, all residing at No.1954 South Grand avenue. The funeral will be held Sunday afternoon at 2 o’clock at the residence. Rev. Dr. Aquilla Webb of the First Presbyterian Church, officiating. Speaking of the deceased last night, Dr. Webb said: “Dr. Kirkpatrick was a strong and loveable man. He was the sort of doctor who always kept his patients in mind, and hundreds will miss his kindly ministrations.” Dr. W. C. Parker, who was a brother of Dr. Kirkpatrick’s first wife, and who was intimately associated with him during the greater part of his busy life, said: “I have never known a physician more thoroughly devoted to his profession than Dr. Kirkpatrick was. He gave up all his time to his patients and his family, and the profession has lost one of its noblest members in his death. Encomiums of the dead physician would be multiplied, for few men in Los Angeles were more generally respected than Dr. Ross C. Kirkpatrick. The Los Angeles Times, Los Angeles, California.

| 3241 | Text from Ancestry member Mark Shaw's page. CONESVILLE MAYOR HELD FOR MURDER Accused of Shooting Dr. A. R. McKeown MUSCATINE, George Brown, 78, Conesville mayor, was charged with first degree murder Tuesday afternoon in the death of Dr. A. R. McKeown, 63, farm operator near Conesville. Deputy Sheriff L. G. Pace said McKeown told him in a statement before the retired physician was taken to a hospital that Brown had shot him. The information charging the mayor with murder was signed by Deputy Sheriff L. G. Pace. Brought before Justice of the Peace L. A. Crull, Brown waived preliminary hearing and was committed to the county jail without bond. A short time earlier Sheriff Fred B. Nesper said he and an agent of the Iowa bureau of in investigation were questioning Brown in connection with the death of the one-time Seattle Wash., physician whose brother served a term in the penitentiary for killing their mother. Wounds Prove Fatal. Dr. McKeown died Tuesday morning in an Iowa City hospital of gunshot wounds in the back. The sheriff said the mayor admitted seeing the farm operator Monday, but denied any part in the incident. Following the death, State Agent Dwight Bender came here to assist in the investigation which the sheriff said was intensified immediately. Dr. McKeown was shot in the back Monday, apparently by a shotgun, as he was rounding up cattle on his farm, about 18 miles west of Muscatine. The horse he was riding brought him to his home. Mrs. Stuart Conklin, a neighbor, noticed the horse and rider and called other neighbors who notified the sheriff's office. The doctor was rushed to the hospital by ambulance, after giving Deputy Sheriff Pace a statement. Sheriff Nesper said Brown owns a farm near the McKeown place. Leaves Practice For Farm. Dr. McKeown attended the University of Iowa medical college three years and finished his studies in Denver in 1910, members of the family said. He served as a major in the medical corps in World War I. Surviving are a daughter, Miss Priscilla of Mt Pleasant; his father, M. P. McKeown of Conesville, and a brother, Albert, of Muscatine County. A son, Lovelll, was killed in World War II. His wife and mother are dead. The- doctor's mother, Mrs. Rhoda Emma McKeown, then 82, was killed at Seattle in March, 1932, while on a visit at the home of another son, Dr. Albert G. McKeown, then 45, and a Seattle dentist. Her body was found in the basement of Albert's home. The dentist was convicted of second degree murder and sentenced to 12 to 25 years in prison. On the completion of his term he returned to Muscatine County, where his physician-brother already was residing. Since then both professional men have operated farms near each other in the Conesville vicinity. Council Bluffs (Iowa) Nonpareil - Wednesday, October 30, 1946 Muscatine Evening Journal, 15 October 1905. Page 4.. Shot in the leg. Ady McKeown shot by ruffian at St. Louis Fair gate. Refused to let the man in. Ady McKeown roomed at Y.M.C.A. building and taught school south of this city last winter - shot at midnight -he will recover. Ady McKeown, who roomed at the Y.M.C.A. building and taught school south of this city last winter, was shot in the left leg between the knee and hip Monday near midnight at the St. Louis world's fair ticket gate. Mr. McKeown was ticket man and refused to let two men in on one pass. This made one of the ruffians so furious that after a wrangle he shot Mr. McKeown. The couple immediately fled after the shooting. Mr. McKeown was taken to the Emergency hospital within the fair grounds and later by his request to the Sanitarium in St. Louis where the bullet was extracted. Mrs. S. A. McKeown, his aunt, who is a trained nurse in Burlington, (Ia.) was telegraphed and arrived at his bedside as soon as a St. Louis bound train could take her there. News of the shooting was received Thursday by the wounded man's brother, Albert McKeown, who rooms at the Y.M.C.A. building and is employed by the Batterson Stores. His brother Albert says from the latest reports that he has received his condition was somewhat better and probably would recover. The two ruffians are not know or as yet report to have been caught. Muscatine Evening Journal, 28 October 1904. Page 2. Shot by soldiers. Former Muscatine boy victim of artillerymen's prank. Artillerymen were responsible for the shooting of Ady McKeown, a former Muscatine boy in St. Louis October 10, according to a letter received this morning. The account of the shooting was given in the Journal recently in which it was stated that Mr. McKeown was shot by robbers. Later advices indicate that abusive artillerymen who were determined to enter the world's fair grounds, where Mr. McKeown was a gate keeper, were responsible for his injury. The victim is recovering nicely. | McKeown, Ady Royal (I36)
