PATTON, John Porter - Died at the home of his brother, James Patton of Pea Ridge, Ark., April 9th, 1903, John Porter Patton, in the 64th year of his age. The deceased was born in Sevier county, Tenn. Nov. 19th, 1839. In the fall of 1860 he moved with his mother and family to Pea Ridge, Ark. The family settled near Elk Horn, where the battle of Elk Horn was fought in March 1862. He enlisted in the Confederate army August 1862 and was a brave and faithful soldier until the end of the war. After the surrender of the Confederate army he returned with his brother, Capt. W.F. Patton, to the home of his mother to find it the wrecked and ruined home the battle had made it. Here he remained and together with his brother and sisters labored unceasingly to rebuild the home and restore former comforts to the dear old mother. In the summer of 1884 he went west and settled in Sheridan county, Wyoming. This was his home until a few weeks ago when, realizing the malignant nature of his disease, he, at the request of his brothers and sisters, returned to his old home, now that of James Patton, to be nursed and cared for by his kindred and loved ones until the end. This came after much suffering on the 9th inst., calmly, resignedly and gloriously triumphant. Brother Patton professed faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as his personal savior during a revival meeting held by Bishop Martin in Little Rock, Ark. in the spring of 1863. In the Confederate army there was organized what was known as the "army church." Christians of every denomination joined it and thousands who, through its agency, were converted, united with it to be members thereof until the war should close, at which time they were permitted to return to their former church organizations and those who had never belonged to any other church, to the church of their choice. Brother Patton, on his return home, united with the Mt. Vernon congregation, C.P. church, Pea Ridge, Ark. His membership was with the church when he died. Through all the years of his absence from home, there being no C.P. church where he was, he was permitted at his request, to remain a non-resident member of the Mt. Vernon congregation and the report from Wyoming and every other place he lived, was that he lived up to his profession and church vows. Many of his kindred, friends and acquaintances attended Brother Patton's funeral service, conducted by the writer, in Buttram's Chapel Cemetery. P. Carnahan.

PATTON, Mrs. - We are pained to learn of the death of Mrs. Patton who lived near Rogers. She was injured by a fall a few days previous to her death, the effects of which, together with the disease now epidemic, was the cause of her death. Her son, W.Y. Patton, is a former citizen of Bentonville.
