Dale Melvin Kirkpatrick was the older of two sons born to James Garfield and Bertha Sarah (Rexroat) Kirkpatrick. He was born 29 April 1908 at Macomb, McDonough County, Illinois, and attended grammar school there. He died 18 March 1971. He married Parma Dixon Leinbach whom he met at the University of Kansas. The couple married at the bride's home in Onaga, Pottawatomie Co., Kansas, 28 November 1931. She was born at McAlester, Pittsburg County, Oklahoma on 1 July 1908, the daughter of Chester Arthur and Rosemary (McKennon) Leinbach. Chester A. Leinbach was born 1 April 1881 and died in 1933. His wife Rosemary, daughter of Capt. Archibald McKennon (Arkansas 16th Infantry), was born in 1884 and died in
1930.
Dale Kirkpatrick moved as a child with his family from Illinois to Kansas City, Jackson County, Missouri, between 1915 and 1919. He attended high school and junior college in Kansas City. He graduated from the University of Kansas in 1930 with a degree in mechanical engineering. While in college he worked with his father in the Flint Hills Oil Fields. Upon graduation he went to work for Worthington Pump, but in 1932 lost his job because of the Depression. For a time he sold notions in eastern Kansas and Western Missouri, then moved into the gasoline business in Nevada,
Vernon County, Missouri. But by 1935 he was called back to Worthington Pump.
Once again the Depression forced his termination and he returned to Nevada. The gasoline business prospered enough that he purchased a complete city block and established a combination gasoline station-auto wrecking yard-mechanical shop and auto parts business. He operated this until 1941.
When World War II came along, the gasoline-auto business became highly regulated by The wartime Office of Price Administration (O.P.A) and the Wartime Production board (W.P.B.) and Dale went back into mechanical engineering. He travelled about with a variety of engineering posts in Michigan, Louisiana, Texas and New Mexico (the Atomic Energy Plant at Los Alamos), including assignments in pipelines, refineries and chemical plants. He died at the age of 62 at Nevada, having
assembled a considerable amount of real estate in the area.
His wife, Parma, had completed two years of pre-law and two years of law school but dropped her career in favor of marriage. She was the daughter of Chester Arthur Leinbach the Prosecuting Attorney of Potawatomi Co. KS. Her Uncle Roscoe Conklin Leinbach was the Onaga KS town physician.

Note From Kirkpatrick Pennington of Arkansas in his email dated 5 Jul 2003:
"George Melvin Kirkpatricks' birthplace, 1869, McDonough County, IL. (Ref. Photo of homestead)
I am unsure if it still exists in this form. George was the son of John Lane, Jr, who lost an arm in a hunting accident in 1861, just before the surrender of Fort Sumter, and as a result, never served in the Union Army, though his brother and cousins did do so."
OBITUARY

John L. Kirkpatrick, one of McDonough county's most respected citizens, died suddenly at his home in Macomb Tuesday morning at 10:40 o'clock, aged 67 years, 4 months and 8 days. Funeral services will be held at Ebenezer church today at 10 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Thompson of Macomb. Interment in the Camp Creek cemetery.
Mr. Kirkpatrick was for many years engaged in farming six miles northwest of Industry. About a year ago he sold his farm to his son, George, and moved to Macomb.
His death was sudden and unexpected, and is a severe shock to his wife, who has been delicate health for several years. He was taken sick with what was diagnosed as a case of indigestion. While quite sick he was able to be around and Monday afternoon went up town. In the evening, when he returned home, he did not feel so well and at about 7 o'clock a physician was summoned, who pronounced the ailment indigestion. Tuesday morning he was up and around the house a little, but was not feeling very well. About 10:30 he was sitting in a chair and his sister-in-law, Mrs. William Munson of Tina, Mo., who is visiting with him, gave him his medicine. His wife had a short time previous, while he was walking around the room advised him to lie down but he only laughed and said he felt all right. Mrs. Munson gave him his medicine and then steped out of the room. He was sitting in the chair and she noticed nothing pecular about him, but he said nothing to her. She started up stairs when Mrs Kirkpatrick called to her that she heard her husband make a pecular noise. She hurried to him and while he was sitting in his chair, his head had dropped and an examin- [some text missing here] physician was summoned and he arrived in a very few moments but life was extinct. It is supposed that indigestion was complicated with heart trouble, this being hereditary in the family, caused his death.
Deceased was born in Morgan county, near Concord, where he grew to manhood. He moved to this county in 1864 and on Sept. 15, 1867, was united in marriage with Miss Mary Munson, who survives him.
Most of his life was spent in farming. When a young man he met with an accident while hunting which resulted in the loss of one arm, near the elbow, but with this handicap he pushed ahead the harder and made a success of his work. He devoted his time to farming and stock raising and by careful attention to his business prospered. He was an earnest, christian man, square in his dealings with his fellow man.
He leaves besides his wife, two sons - George of Industry township and James G. of Bethel township. He leaves also one sister, Mrs. Charles Munson of Macomb.
