The following is gleaned from a letter to the editor of this paper by Mr. Louis DeWees, formerly of this city, but now of California:

National City, Cal., April 23, '88--Mrs. Mary J. Patterson, wife of James L. Patterson, living one and one-half miles from Oneonta, San Diego, California, died at her home Sunday, April 22, at 5 o'clock a. m., after an illness of three months, of abscess of the spleen, aged 39 years, 10 months and 22 days. Mrs. Patterson leaves a devoted husband and six children to mourn her loss. It will be remembered that her oldest son was killed in the Southern California railroad yards at National City, on the 22nd day of January, 1888. Mr. and Mrs. Patterson have many friends in Emporia and Leavenworth, Kansas, as well as some relatives, who will regret to learn of her untimely death. She was buried from the Catholic church in San Diego, and laid to rest in the Catholic cemetery at Old Town, about four or five miles from the city of San Diego, at 9 o'clock a. m. April 24th, where her son Charlie was buried. Mrs. Patterson was a devoted wife an affectionate mother and a kind neighbor.
