Mrs. Martin L. PATTERSON, aged 82 one of Akron's most prominent residents, died very suddenly at 5:15 Monday evening at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Roy JONES, 429 West Fifth Street, in Rochester. Death was due to a stroke of paralysis.
Mrs. Patterson was engaged in piecing a quilt and it was while at work she was stricken, death resulting before a physician could be summoned. Mrs. Patterson's death came as a great shock to the members of her family and friends as she had been enjoying unusually good health.
Viola Emerine [HAKINS], daughter of George and Abigail Jane (DAVIDSON) HAKINS, was born on a farm one mile west of Macy on September 17th, 1847. On September 12th, 1877 she was married to Martin L. PATTERSON at the home of her parents with the late Rev. Aaron WALKER performing the ceremony. For several years Mr. and Mrs. Patterson lived on a farm near Gilead, moving from there to Akron 44 years ago. The couple had made their home with their daughter in this city for the past two winters.
Mrs. Patterson was always considered one of Akron's most public spirited citizens and was active in both private and civic affairs in that community. The deceased was instrumental in establishing the Akron library and had served as president of the Akron library board ever since its foundation. For many years she was head of the Red Cross society in Akron and also served as president of the old cemetery association in Akron, and in fact most of the credit for the reclamation and beautifying of this cemetery is given to her.
Mrs. Patterson was also a very active worker in the Akron Methodist church, of which she was a member, and served as president of the Ladies Aid society for several years. She also took a great interest in the work of the missionary society. She was a member of the Eastern Star lodge and had served in various offices.
Besides her husband, she is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Roy JONES, and two sisters, Mrs. Victoria A. STRATTON, of Los Angeles, California, and Mrs. Ida M. KEEGAN of Shawnee, Oklahoma. The latter arrived this afternoon to attend the funeral. Mrs. Patterson was one of eight children and a brother, Thomas W. [HAKINS], died while serving in the Civil War.
Funeral services will be held Thursday morning at 10:30 at the Jones home. Rev. R. H. WEHRLEY, pastor of the Akron Methodist Church, will officiate and will be assisted by Rev. T. L. STOVALL, pastor of the Rochester M. E. Church. Burial will be made in the mausoleum in Rochester.
