LAS VEGAS AGE
12/16/1916

"JERRY" DEAD

    Jeremiah PATNODE, a well known character about Vegas, died Tuesday 
last, following an excessive indulgence in alcoholic beverages. Jerry 
was 83 years old and has lived for several years in a shack which he 
built in the edge of town. He has spent most of the time during the 
past 10 years prospecting in this section and left several mining 
claims.  He was a native of France but came to America at an early age 
and for years was a noted chef.  He was buried at the expense of the 
county, his nephew, who was notified by wire of the death, declining to 
advance funds for the burial.
