Patton, Ida Mary Forbes -

Ida Mary Forbes, daughter of Thomas and Catherine Forbes, was born in Peoria, Ill., November 25, 1860. Died at her home n Lenox, Iowa, September 1,

1937, after an illness of several months.

On September 27, 1882, she was united in marriage to Glasgow E. Patton. The young couple continued to live in the Illinois home until 1892 when they moved to a farm a few miles west of Lenox, Iowa. Six years later they moved to the town of Lenox, and lived here until 1924 when they moved to Des Moines

Iowa, where they continued to live until April of the present year at which time they returned to the old Lenox home. The anticipated privilege, and pleasure of spending some years of the evening of life among the old friends of former years was not to be realized. Shortly after moving back to Lenox Mrs. Patton was stricken with paralysis from the effects of which she never fully recovered.

Funeral services were held from the Barber Funeral Home Friday afternoon at 2:00, conducted by Dr. A. L. Davidson pastor of the Lenox United Presbyterian

church where Mrs. Patton, with her husband, had worshipped during her long years of residence here. The body was laid to rest in Fairview cemetery

Mrs. Patton was the mother of four children, all of whom were privileged to attend the funeral services: Mrs. Pearl Farrell, Chicago, Ill.; Mrs. Ruth Adams, Kansas City, Mo.; Mrs. Maud Ford, Syracuse, Ind.; Paul K. Patton, Des Monies, Iowa.

The husband who shared the joys and sorrows of a loving companion for 55 years is left to mourn her passing. Two sisters and one brother are living, Mrs. E. M. Patton, Indianola Iowa; Mrs. Sue Stewart, Peoria, Ill.; and Charles Forbes, Davenport.  There are four grandchildren and one great grandchild.

To one who possessed so many graces of mind and character which endeared her to all who knew her and were privileged to call her friend, to one whose

gracious manner and kindliness made life richer for all who came within the circle of a quiet radiating personality, it is difficult to find words to express fitting tribute. Such a one was Mrs. Patton. She was gifted with a fine mind that had been taught and trained to recognize and grasp the truth and beauty of the forces that a long life must encounter. There was quiet dignity and poise in the manner of this excellent woman that betokened deep understanding and rare judgment. There was complete unconcern shown or the mean, narrow, petty things manifest in every community. There was neither time nor thought to be wasted with the cheap and tawdry things.

Mrs Patton indentified herself with various movements and organizations designed to bring betterment to society, and to improve the mind. Through

the years of her girlhood she cultivated a literary taste and later was a promoter and charter member of the Harmony Reading Circle, an organization the purpose of which was to cultivate deeper friendships among its members and to keep them in touch with the best current thought of the world through the agencies of books and magazines.

Being the daughter of a Union soldier in the Civil War she became a member

of the Women's Relief Corps; was a member of the Red Cross and of the local chapter of the Eastern Star and for several years served as Worthy Matron.

to a host of acquaintances who had learned to love and respect Mrs. Patton, having been drawn within the circle of her friendship by her pleasing personality and kindliness of man there is felt an irreparable loss with her passing. Something vital and sustaining has gone out of life for them.

Those from a distance attending the funeral are as follows: Mrs. Albert Penn, Mrs. Mary Penn, Mrs. Max Holmes, Mrs. Walter Feik, Mrs. John McCarroll, Mr and Mrs. Paul Adams and Mr. and Mrs. Emil Cless, all of Des Moinea; W. C. Davidson, Omaha, Nebr.; Mr. and Mrs E M Patton, Indianola; Mrs Florence Huddle, Mrs. Belle Finley, Mrs Gertrude Miller, and Miss Sarah Dunbar, Clarinda, Iowa; Mr and Mrs. C. N. Nelson, Allie Nelson, and Mr. and Mrs Wm

Kemery, Bedford; Mr. and Mrs R M Tuttle, New Market; W. J, Phelan, Creston; and Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Manschott and family of Peoria, Ill.
