Biographical Note
Born William Thomas Kirkman September 15, 1912 in Asheville, NC, Mr. Kirkman spent most of his life in western North Carolina. His father, Frederick Edward Kirkman, a native of High Point, NC, was the manager of the National Biscuit Company’s wholesale unit in Asheville. His mother Anne Patton Cooper of Murphy, NC, came to Asheville to work as a secretary and met his father there. His parents were married On February 4, 1911.
While living in the Biltmore Village area of Asheville, Kirkman’s family experienced the 1916 flood. The flood resulted in a move of the family to the Montford area. In 1920 the family moved again to 37 Ravencroft, Asheville, and William’s father left the National Biscuit Company for a job with several shoe companies. In 1921 the family left Asheville and moved their home to Murphy, NC for a brief time. They returned to Asheville in the summer of 1921 and took up residence on Spruce Street across from the Old Kentucky Home, the famous Wolfe family boarding house. Several other moves ensued and the family finally settled in 1925 in their first home since the 1916 flood. It was located at 5 Woodley Avenue.
William attended the College of the City of Asheville, located on the ground floor of the Asheville High School. This series of classrooms soon became the Biltmore College and later Asheville-Biltmore College. After graduation he went to Cecil’s Business College. His first job at the beginning of the Depression was as a bank clerk with Wachovia Bank, one of the few banks that survived the Depression. Later jobs included work in a flower shop, as a CPA, and again with several Asheville banks.
In 1941 he joined the Carolina Mountain Club and was among the earliest members of that club. By March of that year he had been called into the conflict of WWII. He worked as a staff typist at the Fort Bragg Reception Center. The following year he applied for Officer Candidate School and was accepted for training at the Army Administration School at the University of Florida at Gainsville. Upon graduation as a second lieutenant he was assigned to the Air force Regional Hospital at Coral Gables, Florida.
In December of 1945 William’s father died and in 1948 he returned to Asheville. He was employed by the Dave Steel Company. He quickly resumed his association with the Carolina Mountain Club. During the 1950’s and 1960’s he wrote fondly of the many friends he made while a member of the Club.
In 1977 he retired from Dave Steel and worked for an additional 12 year with the Asheville Contracting Co. in their finance office and also for the Inn On the Plaza as a financial assistant. Part-time work as a CPA also gave him employment in his later years. He remarked that at 81 he was in “fairly good health” and participating in the Hiking Club’s outings.
A volunteer for the Central Methodist Church, treasurer for the Board of Friends of the Library System and an active officer in the Carolina Mountain Club, Mr. Kirkman stayed actively involved with his community and with his friends. Mr. William Thomas Kirkman died June 6, 2000.
An extended version of his life may be read in the “Autobiography of William Thomas Kirkman.”
