Obituary.
Arthur Raymond Patterson, only child of Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Patterson, was born May 5, 1899, and passed to the better life, Tuesday morning, Dec. 16, 1902, at 6:50 o’clock, being 3 years, 7 months and 11 days old.
Baby Arthur, though never a strong child, was a patient sufferer. His condition was not considered serious until about two months ago, when he was stricken with diabetis{sic} which ended his little life Tuesday morning. He was baptized into the Methodist church when about six months old, and always derived a great deal of pleasure in attending the services of the church toward which his little thoughts were ever turned. His often voiced uttterance:{sic} “I love God” was positive assurance of the innocence and purity of his very thoughts and actions. By his sweet little ways, Arthur won for himself the love and friendship of all who knew him.
’Tis left for the bereaved parents and friends to bow in submission, and say “Thy will be done,” knowing it is all for the best though it is hard to part with one so dear,
The funeral was held Thursday afternoon at 2 o’clock from the Methodist Episcopal church, Rev. Gammons conducting the services, His little form was laid to rest in the New Oregon cemetery.
