GEORGE PATTON

  George Patton, 66, born and reared in Elk Lick Township, was instantly killed 
at New London, Ohio, March 24, when a passenger train struck his sedan at a 
railroad crossing, where he did not have a clear view of the tracks.
  He was a son of the late Joseph Patton, who for some years was a farmer in Elk 
Lick Township, and later conducted a hotel at West Salisbury for several years, 
and then located with his family in Akron, Ohio.
  George Patton was a resident of Akron, Ohio, ever since locating there in 
1916, and is survived by his wife, Ruth, and two daughters, Mrs. Ruth Grissinger 
of Akron, and Mrs. Iva Schwarz of Shaker Heights, Ohio, and a sister, Mrs. Emma 
Folk of Windham, Ohio.
  For some years he profitably operated Patton's Fast Freight, a trucking 
business.  He was an elder of Trinity Evangelical and Reformed Church, where 
funeral services were held last Saturday at 2:30 p.m.  Interment was in Glendale 
Cemetery.
