Ionia County News, 19 Feb 1931

Final services were held Tuesday afternoon from the Bloomer Center church for 
Mrs. Mary A. Patterson, 67, who died Saturday night at 612 Benton Court after a 
long illness.  

Preliminary services were held at the home of Mrs. Nettie Miner, of Bloomer 
Center, a sister-in-law.  Rev. W. F. Kendrick officiated.  Interment was in the 
cemetery adjoining the church.

Mrs. Patterson, who was born in Livingston county, New York, came to Ionia 
vicinity with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Yates, at the age of two.  They 
located on a farm two miles north of the city on the State road.

Mrs. Patterson was married on September 26, 1883 to James A. Patterson.  The 
ceremony took place in Bloomer township and residence was continued in that 
vicinity until eight years ago.

She was a member of the Bloomer Methodist Episcopal church and a charter member 
of the ladies aid society, an auxiliary to the same church.  For 50 years she 
was a member of the grange and several years served the Bloomer Center grange 
as secretary and the Butternut grange as master.  Surviving is the husband and 
the half sister.

Mrs. and Mrs. Charles Yates, of Watervilet, cousins of Mrs. Patterson, came to 
Ionia Saturday and accompanied Mr. Patterson to Bloomer Center Monday afternoon 
when the casket was removed to the home of the half-sister.
