Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I mate a Robert Kirkland i te ata o te Rāhoroi i Union City, Tennessee, nā ngā raruraru o te ngoikoretanga o te whatukuhu. Kua mate te kaipakihi me te tangata atawhai i hanga i tētahi mekameka ā-motu o ngā toa whakapaipai whare, ā, i tuku $100 miriona hei koha, i te 77 o ōna tau.

I mate a Kirkland i te Rāhoroi i ngā raruraru i ahu mai i te ngoikoretanga o te whatukuhu. I whakatūria e ia rāua ko tana whanaunga ko Carl Kirkland ngā toa whakapaipai kāinga o Kirkland i te tau 1966.

Ka tū te ratonga whakamaharatanga i te Rāapa ki te pāka, ka katia.
