Cyrus Patterson, died on Thursday morning 15 May at his home east of
Jamestown, after a long illness with Bright's disease.  He had been in very 
ill health for a long time and for the past six months had been confined to 
the house almost continuously, and his death was not unexpected.

Mr. Patterson was born in North Carolina, in 1844 and came to this state
directly after the Civil War. He was married to Miss. Lucinda Amick of 
Plainfield (Hendricks Co.) in 1865. Three children was born to this union, two 
of which died in infancy. The only remaining child is Alva, our fellow 
townsman who with the widow are left to mourn his departure. At the
breaking out of the Civil War, Mr. P. (Patterson) was a sympathizer with
the Union, and had to hide out in the mountains to keep from being drafted in 
to the Rebel Army. He worked his way north and afterwards joined the Union 
forces as a teamster and had some very narrow escapes with his life. He was 
not a regular enlisted soldier and could not get a pension.  He had lived in 
this vicinity about thirty years, was a hard worker, industrious, and 
obliging. In religion he held to the Quaker belief, but, was a member of no 
church. In politics he was a staunch republican.  Funeral services were held 
at the residence Friday afternoon conducted by Bro. C.F. Martin, after which 
remains were interred at the Fullen Cemetery, south of town.
