Kirkpatrick in Nebraska
« on: Thursday 01 September 11 03:27 BST (UK) »
 I'm looking for any information on Thomas Alexander Kirkpatrick, born 1871 in Australia, who apparently travelled to USA with a Circus.  He died in Omaha, Nebraska in 1899.  Can any one help me with this?

After a quick search, I didn't find an article about a death.  However, it was a quick search, so information might still be found:

I also didn't find a gravestone (records are continually being added):

Thanks Lisa,  I have a date of death as Sep 29, 1899.  Have also seen a photo of him - the frame says "Gamer, 702 N & 222 S 16th St, Omaha, Neb."

My latest information is that Thomas Alexander "Tom" Kirkpatrick died "by accident on railway."  I'm still looking for details on this.
