John Kilpen's, (known as Jack) mother and sister died of Typhoid fever when he was 9 years old. They lived in Amherst Co on property that is located next to Sweet Briar College. John's father moved the children into Lynchburg during the school year and hired a housekeeper so that that they could have a good education. His father owned a general store in Lynchburg and they lived above the store during school months. They also owned and operated the farm in Amherst. John Sr. lost a great deal of money from the store during the depression because he gave people credit when they couldn't pay their bills. He later open a transfer business which his son John (Jack) ran and and later owned. All of the children of John Sr. were educated after High School except John who had to stay and take care of his father and younger children. He always was interested in education and encouraged his own children to complete college. He had a quick mind and wonderful use of language. He broke away from the local Presbyterian Church in Lexington and started his own "Grace Presbyterian Church". He was very active in the Gideon society. He was demanding and strict with his children but fun and boisterous with his grandchildren. As a young man he was very social and fun loving. His wife was very religious and she encouraged his participation with the church.
