INJURIES FATAL TO COLLINS MAN
LaRue Patterson Gives Up Fight For Life; Wife Is Improving

LaRue M. Patterson, 23, died last Thursday at Blodgett hospital in Grand Rapids,
from injuries sustained two weeks previous in an automobile accident at the intersection
of the Collins-Saranac and LeValley roads. He had been in the hospital since the accident,
for a number of days lying in an unconscious condition. The fore part of last week he
rallied somewhat and it was thought he had a fair chance for recovery. Thursday as he was
talking to his nurse he suddenly collapsed, death coming without warning.

Mr. Patterson was born at Remus, the son of Mr and Mrs R. A. Patterson. When a small
boy the family moved to Orleans and later to Collins where Mr. Patterson owns and
conducts a grocery store. LaRue graduated from the Portland High school with the class of 1929
and from the Michigan State college in 1933. He had been employed at Lansing for the
past year. He was married to Miss Doris cCox, of Ionia township, last May. Mrs. Patterson
was seriously injured in the same accident, but is now improving. She was taken from
Blodgett hospital to the home of her parents, Mr and Mrs  Benjamin Cox, in Ionia township, in
an ambulance last Friday.

The funeral of Mr. Patterson was held Sunday at the home of his parents in Collins,
the wife attending the services in an ambulance. Interment was made in the Bloomer Center 
cemetery. Besides the wife and parents he is survived by one sister, Mrs. Roy
Wright, of Orange township.

Among the relatives from away attending the services were Mr. and Mrs. Fred Boyer,
of Belding; Mr. and Mrs. John Tew, of Grand Rapids, and Mr. and Mrs. Al Braman of
Franklin, Indiana.
