J. C. Patten Dies Suddenly At His Home In Atlanta

Funeral Services Were Held Sunday At Atlanta Cemetery

John C. Patten, 84 years of age, died suddenly at his home in Atlanta last
Saturday, December 19th.  Mr. Patten was a grand old man, quiet, unassuming
and a lovable character.  He spent his entire life doing good and making
others happy.

Mr. Patten was an active member of the Methodist church, having joined when a
small boy.  He was prominent in the community in which he lived and will be
greatly missed.

His wife preceded him to the grave twenty-one years ago and a son, C. D.
Patten, died only a month ago.

Surviving are four daughters, Mrs. E. G. Ferguson, Atlanta, Mrs. J. L.
Ferguson, Winnfield, Mrs. O. L. Orendoff of Hoffman, Okla., and Mrs. M. C. Shy
of Edna, Kansas, and one son, A. B. Patten, Hope, Ark.  Fourteen grandchildren
and a host of other relatives also survive.

Funeral services were conducted Sunday afternoon at the Atlanta church with
the Rev. Baggatte, pastor, officiating.  Interment was in the Atlanta Cemetery
under the direction of Edmonds Funeral Home.
