Kirkpatrick 10     1935 - Sarah Catherine Lovett died in San Antonio TX. Buried in Roselawn Park cemetery. On genealogy charts from Helen Larson she lists her grandfather S.H. Riley as born in Roanoke, Roanoke, VA. 1850 census says VA; 1880 and 1900 census say he was born in WVA. Since West Virginia was part of Virginia at one time, you could be born in VA and later live in WVA and never move. Ditto "do" for KY. A photo of Grace Riley says she's daughter of Tom Riley, half brother to Samuel. Sarah Catherine Lovett (1861-1935) is in the 1880 census as daughter of Joshua and Lucinda Lovett. She married Samuel Hume in 1882. We have some of her letters to Helen Katherine Kirkpatrick (granddaughter). Oldest daughter Etta Mae (1884-1917) m Joseph Clinton Henry (1884-Feb 1936). Helen was close to this aunt and uncle even though they lived in Nebraska. In January 1936 Helen cabled her uncle that she'd had a baby boy. He cabled back, "Name him Henry, money follows." Her uncle died 21 February that same year. These are possibly the two in white at the right in the group photo above. They had no children. Daughter Mary Florence (1886-1911) m Arlington Vandervere Kirkpatrick (1884-1915) Both died of TB. Two children: Arlyn Clinton Kirkpatrick, Helen Katherine Kirkpatrick. We don't know who raised Arlyn. Correction here - we found him in the 1920 census with his Aunt Maude's family. See the timeline at right. He and Helen saw each other often as adults. Daughter Amy Louise (1895-1977) m Dallas McFall. Helen lived with them and her Grandmother Riley as a child on a plantation in Louisiana. About 1920 they lost everything in the crash when the price of cotton fell drastically. In 1926 they were in El Paso, Texas. They moved to Miami Arizona where Dallas' brother Bert McFall (wife Mable) owned McFall Auto Parts. Helen was there in 1930 census a few days before she and Roland were married. After Dallas died Amy married Thomas Busby. She had no children. Daughter Jessie Lee (1897-1989) m Malcomb McDonald, ____Quinn, Tom Sarber, "Muddy" Waters (no divorces, they all died). Jessie had one daughter and 3 grandchildren.
