[Ellen
Gilbert Patton] Taylor
County Herald January
6, 1944 Obituary---Mrs.
Ellen Patton Ellen
Patton,
youngest daughter of Gershom Waite and Mary McCloud Gilbert was born July 2, 1869 and died
January 2, 1944 at the age of 75 years and 6 months. She lived her entire life in the old Gilbert homestead. On
October 6, 1889, she was married to Fred H. Patton, who preceded her in death on Dec.
9, 1920 at the age of 55 years, and 9 months. To
this union two children were born: Kate M and Ralph. The
son Ralph died in France during the First World War. One
and one-half years previous to the death of the husband and father,
Kate and husband, Walter Thompson, went to live at the old home and
care for her mother, who was ill.
For twenty-four years she was an invalid and they have patiently
and lovingly cared for her. The
four last years were spent in an invalid's chair, yet her hands were
always busy fashioning beautiful needlework as gifts. In
her early girlhood she united with the Gilead church and as long as
health permitted she was active in all the community affairs. She was always quick to respond to the
call when relatives, friends or neighbors were ill or in need of help. Surviving
are the daughter, Kate M Thompson and husband; two grandchildren, Phyllis Henry and Ellen Jean Mullen, four great grandchildren, Gerald
Mullen,
Larry Glen Mullen,
Julia Marie Henry,
Philip David Henry. Also one sister-in-law, Rena Patton of Los Angeles, California. The
funeral services were held at the Wetmore Funeral Home Wednesday afternoon,
conducted by Rev. Albert E. Coe, Methodist pastor at Dysart, Iowa. Burial was in the Graceland cemetery. The
