1838 - 1921 Person Name: Wm. J. Kirkpatrick Composer of "[Go on, ye soldiers of the cross]" in Showers of Blessing William J. Kirkpatrick (b. Duncannon, PA, 1838; d. Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878.
