PATTERSON, EDWARD
(12 Jul 1906, Thursday, Roger Mills Democrat, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
Edward Patterson departed this life at the home of his son, G. F.
Patterson, Wednesday at 8:35 p.m., July 11, 1906.  Aged 78 years and 19
days.
Funeral services were conducted by Elder J. C. Howard of the Christian
church at Grandview school house July 13, 1906, after which the remains
were tenderly laid to rest in the Grandview cemetery by a large concourse
of sympathizing friends and sorrowing relatives.
Edward Patterson was born in the county of Cavin Ireland in 1828, removed
to the city of Philadelphia, Penn., in 1848, was united in marriage to
Susan Wadsworth in 1850, to this union were added 11 children, eight of
which together with the widow and mother survive him and lament his
demise.
He united with the Christian church in March 1886 and has been an earnest
devoted servant to the cause of his Master till his demise.  He was loved
and respected by all who knew him, his was a life shaped by the Golden
Rule.
To the bereaved widow and children we would say this good and noble mans
death means only the passing from this mortal world of woe and
disappointments to his reward from his Master (eternal joy and happiness)
so weep not but look up and try to duplicate his noble example and go to
him, he can not come to you but you by following his godlike example can
go to him.
We extend our sincere sympathy to the bereaved family and friends.
