General Notes: Husband - James Kirk

---

He was born in Lack township, Juniata County, Pennsylvania, and grew to manhood in that locality. He was educated in the common schools and under the private tuition of a Mr. White, an old Scotch teacher who had his home in the Kirk family for many years. When sixteen years old he left home, going first to Churchtown, Cumberland County, where he taught school a term. He next went to Mifflintown, and there for a while clerked in the store of Robert Gallagher. From Mifflintown he went to Fulton County, where he and a cousin, also named James Kirk, for a short time jointly engaged in the mercantile business. He then returned to Mifflintown, and was married. After his marriage he went back to Fulton County and there spent two years more in the mercantile business, after which he for the third time went to Mifflintown, and there-first with Joseph Patterson and afterward by himself-conducted a general store until his death. Mr. Kirk was a Democrat, was active and prominent in politics, and was treasurer of Juniata County one term.
