A.A. PATTERSON moved to Decatur County in the spring of l865 and bought the James Potter farm in New Buda Township where he resided a quarter of a century. He united with the M.E. Church when quite young, but afterwards joined the missionary Baptist Church. After coming to Iowa he united with the U.B. Church, there being no Baptist Church near.

Church, Dec. 5, l905 by Rev. G.E. Mitchell, of Weldon, assisted by Rev. A.C. Heckathorn. Interment in the Davis City Cemetery by the G.A.R. Post(source: Decatur County Journal IOWA, December l4, l905).
