    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 following remarks made by John Brown Parker (1818-1904) and William Parker (1821-1905) "The McBrides were rather below medium size, while the Browns were large and robust and stood in the front in all manly sports requiring strength and agility." Dolly Brown McBride had one brother John Brown who settled in Guernsey County, Ohio about 1828, had three sons, William Brown, Robert Brown and John Brown. William settled in Philadelphia, Robert in Des Moines County, Iowa and John remained on the Guernsey County farm. David Martin and Mary McBride Martin, emigrated to America about 1841 and went to Zanesville, Ohio (John Parker and Margaret McBride Parker living there at that time).
