PATTON, W.F. - A pioneer citizen of Benton county and confederate veteran of the Civil War, W.F. Patton, died at his home in Bentonville Monday morning at 6:30 at the age of 87 years, 5 months and 7 days. He was born Oct. 7, 1833 in Knox county, Tenn., 12 miles from Knoxville. On Nov. 1, 1860 he and his mother and family arrived in Benton county, Ark. where they bought a farm on Pea Ridge. Soon after the Civil war broke out on August 15, 1862 he joined Company F of the 22nd regiment of Arkansas Infantry of the Confederate Army as a first Lieutenant but he was soon promoted to Captain and he served in that rank until the close of the war, having participated in the battles of Prairie Grove, Helena and Jenkins Ferry. He was paroled at Fort Smith on June 9, 1865 and returned to his home on Pea Ridge. On April 30, 1874 he was married to Miss Nannie Perkins and to this union was born three children, Harry L. Patton of Clovis, New Mexico; Ernest Patton and Miss Anna Patton of Bentonville. Mrs. Patton died on Nov. 16, 1908. He is survived by his three children and five grandchildren. In 1880 he moved to Bentonville. He was a member of the Presbyterian church, having joined that church at Old Bethel on Mouse Creek, Tenn. in 1854. He was a congenial gentleman and was loved by all who knew him. One of the familiar sights on the streets of Bentonville was to see him on his favorite saddle horse and greeting his many friends. He will be greatly missed not only by his family and citizens of Bentonville but by all who knew him. He was a good man and did not live for himself and family alone but to help others. Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 in the First Presbyterian church conducted by Rev. Peter Carnahan, assisted by Rev. W.C. Wheat and interment was made in the family lot in the city cemetery.
