Lyons Herald, 10 Jun 1913

Dies at Hastings

Resided in Lyons for Number of Years.

On June 9, 1913, occurred the death of Benjamin R. VanPatten at the residence 
of his nephew, Albert VanPatten, in Hastings, with whom he had made his home 
for the past eight years.

Mr. VanPatten was born in Onondaga, N.Y., December 22, 1823.  August 8, 1847, 
he was united in marriage to Tryphenia Wilcox, who preceded him to the home 
above eight years and four months.  He came to Michigan as a pioneer in 1853 
and served in the Civil War as a member of Co. K., 12 Regiment of Michigan 
Volunteers.

Mr. VanPatten was a resident of Lyons for some 20 years, leaving here shortly 
after the death of his wife.

Mr. VanPatten was of a very generous, gentle disposition and leaves many warm 
friends.  He also leaves to mourn his loss two brothers, several nephews and 
nieces and an adopted daughter.

Funeral services were held in Hastings Sunday morning, and the body brought to 
Lyons the same day for burial in the Lyons cemetery.
