All that was mortal of Mrs. W. J. Patterson was laid to rest in the city cemetery Sunday afternoon beside her husband who preceded her some eleven years ago.
She had been a patient sufferer for more than a year with that dread disease, pellagra. She had only recently returned from a trip to Sulphur Springs, where she had remained some time in the hope of securing some benefit, but no improvement came. Her condition gradually grew worse, when Saturday night she peacefully passed away.
The Pattersons are numbered among the pioneers of Hartshorne. About twenty years Mrs. Patterson had resided here, where there has been reared to manhood and womanhood a large family of worthy citizens, who will deeply deplore the passing of a kind and loving mother. The deceased had early in life become a member of the Baptist Church, consistently living the life that she professed, and died not like one who has no hope of reward, but in the consciousness of one who done her best toward her fellowmen and can claim her reward from the great giver of gifts.
A large number of relatives attested their loving devotion by coming from distant parts of the country to attend the last sad rites over the departed.
The funeral was held from the late residence at 2 p.m. Sunday, being conducted by Rev. W. W. Chancellor, pastor of the Baptist Church of McAlester.
