E. Kirkland, Well Known Here, Dies In Phoenix Mrs. Libbie Kirkland, one of the pioneer women of Arizona, and one of the most popular among the older residents of Phoenix, died Saturday morning at her apartments on North First street, Phoenix, from a stroke of apoplexy, the call coming while she was asleep. She had spent the summer visiting with relatives at Kirkland and Prescott, and returned to Phoenix about 10 days ago. Taking apartments temporarily, she had been giving her attention for some days to the purchase a house, which, however, she had not completed. She had been feeling ill for some time, but was attended by a nurse at night, and apparently had attached little importance to the illness. Born at Santa Rosa, California, Mrs. Kirkland was a little child when she came to Arizona some 50 years ago, her father, a Mr. Jackson, being one of the early settlers of Yavapai county. Her husband, Edward E. Kirkland, was a territorial treasurer during the administration of Governors Brody, Kibbey and Sloan. He died five years ago, their son, the only child of the family, having died two years previously. Mrs. Kirkland was active in the affairs of the Woman's Club of Phoenix, in later years; and during the war she did much important work in the services of the Red Cross. She was noted among her intimate friends for her unobtrusive charities, being a woman of considerable wealth.
