James S Patterson Obituary

   James Patterson was Born in Licking Co.,
Ohio, Sept 13, 1824 and departed this life
Sept 5, 1895. Thus the years of his life
were 71, less eight days.

   He removed with his parents to Logan
Co., where he lived until the spring of 1870,
when he came to Bloomer, where he lived
until gathered to his fathers.

   He was married Nov. 11, 1845. This union
was blessed with ten children, seven of
whom are now living.

   He was converted in early manhood and
united with the Methodis Church, to which
he remained true and loyal for the close of
his life.

   Twelve years ago the 23rd of last May he
was called to part with his devoted companion.
Since that time this world was hardly seemed
like home. And as he advanced upon life's
journey, the attractions of that city which hath
foundations, whose maker and builder is
God, grew stronger and stronger until his
soul longed to fly away to heavenly kindred
to depart and be with Christ.  With sad, but
resigned hearts, we bid him adeau: for
verily God took him.
