MRS. EMMA PATTON

Daughter of George W., deceased, and Mrs. Susan Hawksworth, of 809 
Lexington avenue, died at 7 o'clock last night at the Presbyterian 
hospital, Philadelphia.  She had been visiting her mother here since 
last June, and on September 16 was compelled to take her bed on account 
of sickness.  On October 1, she was removed to Philadelphia, where 
everything possible was done to save her life, but she passed into the 
great beyond at the hour above mentioned.  She bore her suffering with 
a Christian fortitude and was ever ready to meet her creator.  Deceased 
was born in Lebanon, August 24, 1834, but resided in this city the 
greater part of her life.  She was married in 1861 to Hon. George 
Patton, and resided here until 1875, when she removed to Philadelphia 
with her husband.  Mr. Patton died some seventeen years ago and since 
then she made her home with her daughter, Mrs. Harold Freeman, in 
Philadelphia.  She was a good Christian woman and a member of the 
Lutheran church.  During her residence here, she was connected with the 
First Lutheran church and took an active interest in all church and 
Sunday school work.  She was a loving mother and was held in the 
highest esteem by all who knew her.  She is survived by her mother, 
three brothers, Augustus, George and William Hawksworth, of this city; 
two sisters, Mrs. Ella Paul, of Altoona, and Mrs. F. B. Stewart, of 
Washington, D.C. She is also survived by three sons, T. Blair Patton, 
of Huntingdon; William Patton, of Greensburg, and one daughter, Mrs. 
Harold Freeman, of Philadelphia.  The remains will be brought to this 
city and interred in Fairview cemetery.
