KIRKLAND, Kenneth. Mercer leader Kirkland dies. By DAVID
BROCK. Sunday December 13, 2009. HARRODSBURG —
The former Mercer County Judge Executive who many credit
with helping the county get Anderson-Dean Park, died at his
home Thursday after a prolonged illness. Kenneth Kirkland,
75, served as judge executive from 1992-1998, winning his
first election during the 1991 primary after incumbent I.C.
James III had to step down due the health problems. Deputy
Judge Executive Gayle Horn, who has served in the same role
for six judge executives including Kirkland, said he got to work
right away on his dream of having a first rate park for the
county. ―Judge Kirkland was totally responsible on the
government side for Anderson-Dean Park coming about,‖
Horn said. ―He was very organized in the way he went about it
and he almost immediately got together a committee of about
50 people to work on it. ―He was a very humble person, so he
would never tell you he was the reason it went forward the
way it did, but I will say it on his behalf. It was a dream of his
and he lived to see it fulfilled.‖
A positive thinker
Horn said Kirkland was a progressive thinker who never shied
away from difficult tasks and sited the county’s purchase of
the current fiscal court building, installation of a mobile
communication system for county workers and adoption of the
net profits and payroll taxes among his achievements. Horn
said several things made Kirkland’s unique as a modern day
politician and person, including a remarkable memory for
poetry that enabled him to effortlessly recite verses. However,
what he will be remembered for the most, she said, were his
priorities. ―Family was absolutely number one with him and
the first thing he told me when he came to the office was that if
anyone in his family ever called for him to put them through no
matter what,‖ Horn said. ―He was deeply religious and a very
moral person. He was probably one of the most generous
people I ever knew. He did well in life, but he gave so much
away.‖
Farmer, developer and businessman.
Kirkland worked for IBM for 22 years and was a long-time
farmer and land developer. He partnered with David Baker
and Jim McGlone to form Baker, Kirkland and McGlone, which
handled farm land and developed several local subdivisions.
McGlone remembered Kirkland as a friend and an asset to the
community. ―You couldn’t ask for a finer, more honest
individual as a friend or business partner,‖ McGlone said. ―He
got a lot going for this county, but he was a great, great man in
his entire life. I will miss him.‖ The visitation and funeral for
Kirkland will be Monday at Harrodsburg Baptist Church. His
obituary appears on Page 2.
