OBITUARY

Died: At his home in this city on Thursday, July 24, 1902, Mr. A. L.
Patterson, aged sixty years.

The announcement of the death of our citizen came to our community as a
severe shock. Mr. Patterson retired the evening of the twenty-third at the
usual time in good health. His family thinking he was sleeping a little
later than usual did not call him until breakfast was ready. Not until Mrs.
Patterson went into his room did they suspect that all was not well. A
physician was immediately summoned and stated that life had been extinct
probably three hours.

Mr. Patterson has spent his mature years on his farm on Jug Prairie, and at
his town home. He has been a very successful man, but his material
prosperity weighs very lightly in the scales against his success as a
neighbor and citizen. One who lived near him a life time, said "I can
recall no instance where I ever heard of Mr. Patterson being criticised.:
His devotion to his family was a ruling passion. He leaves a wife and four
sons, Marvin, Wm. G., Lyle and Leon. 

The funeral will occur Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, from the
residence.
