Charles Frederick Patten is Called by Grim Reaper

The grim reaper comes and takes from our midst Charles Frederick Patten, who answered the last call on Saturday, September 9th, at St. Mary’s hospital, which he entered on Thursday to receive treatment for a cancerous growth. Mr. Patten has patiently suffered for about a year from what was pronounced some little time ago as cancer.

Mr. Patten was born in Old Rome, Onida county, New York, in the year 1848. When about 8 years of age, he, with his father, came as far west as DeWitt, Iowa, and busied himself in the stock raising business, being employed by James W. Fay.

In 1882 he was married to Samantha Lois Smith, to which union was born one son, Albert Patten, of Clark, South Dakota. In the spring of 1907, they came to settle some 17 miles southeast of the city in Lyman county, where they have since engaged in cattle raising and farming. Mr. Patten was known for his sympathy and industry and has a host of friends who share with the family in their sorrow.

Services were held Tuesday afternoon at the I. M. Dotson funeral parlors in Pierre and interment made at Riverview cemetery, which services were in charge of Rev. J. C. N. Pengeily of the Congregational church. The pall bearers, neighbors of the deceased were W. O. Binkley, D. R. Binkley, W. Wilsie, Theodore Wagner, Hans Henrickson and A. B. Horsely. – Fort Pierre (S. D.) Times.

Both Mr. and Mrs. Patten will be remembered by many old friends in and near Maquoketa, and they resided east of Maquoketa on the Patterson place for many years, and also northwest of this city, near Esgate, for some time.
