Kenneth Dale Kilpatrick, Sr. (June 14, 1928 – March 14, 2010), known as K.D. Kilpatrick, was a funeral home owner in Ruston, Louisiana, who served as a Democratic member of the Louisiana State Senate for a single term from 1972 to 1976. He represented Union, Lincoln, and Jackson parishes and served alongside William Denis Brown, III, of neighboring Ouachita Parish.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Membership of the Louisiana State Senate, 1880-2004 )〕 ==Early years, education, family business==
Kilpatrick was born in Farmerville in Union Parish, Louisiana, to Edgar Noel Kilpatrick and the former Effie Mae Hicks. Edgar Kilpatrick began a small funeral business in Farmerville in 1927; he also worked as a letter carrier. In 1935, the company opened another funeral home in Bernice, also in Union Parish. On Thanksgiving Day 1944, E.N. Kilpatrick was felled by a stroke and left paralyzed for the last decade of his life. K.D. and his younger brother, Tex R. Kilpatrick, thereafter worked with their mother in the family business.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History of Kilpatrick Funeral Homes ) 〕 K.D. recalls that the stroke "left my father an invalid, although he was to live for ten more years. (of ) his paralysis, I was forced to become a man overnight. It was during World War II, and there were no adult men to help us. So, as a teenager, I joined my mother in rearing my sister and brother, and in keeping our business together."〔
