In the photo above, front row, L to R: Warren Parks Kirkland, Hiram Jacob Kirkland, Jr. (1844-1930), Winnifred Lucy Kirkland Tisdale (1883-1965) and Esther Emily White Kirkland (1855-1945). In the back row L to R: Elmer Kirkland, Ralph Carlton Kirkland and Leslie Eugene Kirkland. Warren is the brother of Hiram. Hiram and Esther were married and the other men and young woman are their children. This was taken about 1904 in North Dakota before Hiram, Ralph and Winnifred traveled to Washington State to begin a new life.
Hiram Jacob Kirkland, Sr. (1808-1871) born in NY, died in WI, is the patriarch of our family. To date we have not been able to determine his parents or where in NY he came from, but family history states that the family was of Scotch descent. More information will be added as available.

Winnifred Kirkland Tisdale
This photo of my Great Grandmother, Winnifred Lucy Kirkland Tisdale, was taken about 1904 before she moved from Grand Forks, North Dakota to Toledo, Washington. Based on a birth year of 1883, her age was about 21 years of age. She was born June 9,1883 in Ojata, Grand Forks, ND to Hiram Jacob and Esther Emily White Kirkland and died August 30, 1965 in Seattle, King, WA.
She married Fred (FW) Tisdale in Tacoma, Pierce, WA January 19,1905. They had four children, Holly Mabel Tisdale Hopkins (1906-2002), Clifton K. Tisdale (1907-1964), Homer K. Tisdale (1909-1970) and Dorothy Winnifred Tisdale (1911-1997).
