Lyons Herald, 16 & 23 Oct 1913

This entire community was deeply grieved and shocked to learn of the demise of 
William H. Patrick, one of our foremost citizens, at the family home Monday 
evening, death being due to a bursted artery, which flooded the lungs, Mr. 
Patrick dying a few minutes after it happened.

The family had retired for the night and before going to sleep he told Mrs. 
Patrick he was feeling fine and that he would try and get a good night’s rest.  
About eleven o’clock he roused up and began to cough and it was during one of 
these spells that the artery bursted.  He was sitting on the edge of the bed at 
that time and later walked, with her assistance to the sitting room.  Seeing 
the alarming condition in which he was in Mrs. Patrick ran across the road to 
summon the neighbors, but during the short moment she was gone he passed away.

The deceased had been in poor health for over a year, but of late had 
apparently been on the gain and his sudden taking off was a severe blow to the 
family, as well as to all of us.

At the time of going to press the funeral arrangements had not been completed, 
but it was tentatively understood that they will be held Sunday afternoon from 
the Baptist church, under the auspices of the Ionia lodge of Elks, of which the 
deceased was a long time member.  The interment will be made in the family lot 
in East Plains cemetery.
