Patterson, died at the family home
four miles northwest Of Laclede
Friday, Sept. 13, aged IA years, S
months and 25 days. He was sick
only few days with the dread
scourge, cerebro-spinal meningitis,
against which medical skill and
tender, loving care were unavail-
ing.
Francis was born in Jefferson
township March 10, 1898, and his
whole life had been spent here. he
was moral, good quiet, kind
hearted boy, always kind to his
pIaymates and devoted to his par
ents, and especially anxious that
his mother should have the best Of
everything. At home and at
school he was industrious and am
bitious-too much so, perhaps, for
his own good. He was loved by
all who knew him and will be
greatly missed by all his compan-
ions, and the home can never be
the same again.
Funeral services were held at the
home at 9:45 Monday morning,
conducted by Rev, T. J. Enyeart
of Laclede and attended by a
multitude Of sympathizing friends.
The body was taken to Browning

was in the jenkins cemetery by the
side Of his only brother, who died

Mr.. and Mrs. Patterson wish to
thank all the neighbOrs and friends
for the kindness, help and sym
pathy extended in their hour Of
trial, and also for the beautiful
floral offerings.
