Funeral services for Robert B. Patton who died at his home southwest of Grainola were held at the Maple City church last Thursday. Mr. Patton was a sufferer for about six months with cancer of the stomach and death came as a release from pain. He was well known by many here, having lived in this neighborhood years ago. His wife was a Miss Dunlap and they were married in Maple City in 1896. They were the parents of five children, four of whom are living. "To Know Mr. Patton was to love him." as one of his neighbors expressed it. Rev. Winters conducted the funeral services, basing his sermon on the passage in Job, 14:14. The discourse was peculiarly fitting upon the large assemblage of people who had gathered to pay their tribute of respect to their friend. The Odd Fellows lodges of both Grainola and Maple City were present and performed rites of their order. Interment was made in the the Maple City Cemetery.
