Patterson Dead William J. Patterson died at his home in this city at 8:55 this morning, after a protracted illness due to kidney trouble and rheumatism. For a week or ten days he had been in a critical condition, and his death was not unexpected. W. J. Patterson was born in Paisley, Scotland, October 10th, 1826, was married in that country and two sons, Thomas and Robert borrn there. In 1852 the family came to this country, locating at Patterson, N. J., thence moving to Chicago and later to Joliet. In 1867 the family came to North Platte. Upon his arrival here Mr. Patterson went to work in the Union Pacific blacksmith shop, and for some time was the foreman of the shop. Later he quit the employ of the company and built a shop on the site now occupied by the Hotel Neville, and afterwards conducted a shop in the rear of his premises. Eight or ten years ago he retired from active work. The deceased was a charter member of Platte Valley lodge of Masons which was originally organized at Ft. McPherson in the early days and later removed its headquarters to this city. He was also a communicant of the Episcopal church. Mr. Patterson is survived by a wife and six sons, all of whom were present at the time of death. He was conscious to the last and his passing away was peaceful. Mr. Patterson was a good citizen and ever held in the highest esteem by all acquaintances. The passing away of "Uncle Billy" Pattereson, as he was familiarly called, is deeply regretted by all and to the family the sympathy of our people go forth. The funeral will be held from the Episcopal church Sunday afternoon at two o'clock, the Masons to have charge of the services at the cemetery.
