Patterson were held Friday afternoon in the South Marion Methodist Church at 2 o'clock, following a brief service in the old home at 2:30 o'clock. The services were in charge of the Rev. Stanley Jensen, pastor of the church. Several musical numbers were furnished by a mixed quartet composed of A.J. Swedlund, Joel Peterson, Mrs. August Siemsen and Miss Pearl Swedlund. The great mass of flowers which banked the altar testified to the popularity of the deceased. Following the service in the church the remains were laid to reside beside those of his late wife in the South Marion Cemetery. The pallbearers were: Victor Holstrum, Will Holstrum, Sherman Patterson, Lawrence Bjustrom, Earl Patterson and Roy Bjustrom of Algona, all nephews of the deceased. John Albert Patterson, for almost seventy years a resident of the South Marion community and who died in the county hospital in Webster City on Tuesday, April 16, was a son of John Gustaf and Matilda Petterson (the name later changed to Patterson) and was 72 years old Feb. 10. He was born near Keokuk in 1863 and came to the community known as Swede Bend in 1865 and later moved to the old homestead on the Boone County line, five miles south of Stratford, where he resided continuously until 1927, with the exception of one year spent in northeast Iowa in railroad construction work. Two sisters, one brother, his wife and a daughter have preceded him in death. He is survived by two daughters: Mrs. Elsie Larson and Mrs. Fern Carlson, and three sons, Budd and Fred of the South Marion community, and Clarence of Chicago, a half brother, Ed Patterson, eight grandchildren and a host of other relatives and friends. A brother, Sam died in South Dakota in 1927. Mr. Patterson was married to Sophie Bjustrom, April 18, 1889. Six children were born of this union, all of whom are living except one, Minnie, who died in infancy. Mrs. Patterson died in 1912. As a youth Mr. Patterson helped build the South Marion church and was formally enrolled as a member in 1892 and was active in the church all of his life. Suffering from uremic poisoning, he was taken to the county hospital April 13. All members of his family were called to his bedside and kept constant vigil until death came at about 8:30 o'clock Tuesday evening. His everyday life, as well as his fatherly counsel, was always tempered with christian love, setting an example in all that he did for all who knew him. He was burdened with unusually heavy responsibilities when the mother of the family of five small children, the youngest less than 2 years, died and left him to take the part of both father and mother. This task he did capably and lived to see all his children established in homes of their own, grandchildren in their turn taking an important place in his affections. His most often repeated prayer which became in reality his motto was: "May we live so that when our work here on earth is finished we may be gathered together in thy heavenly home." Card of Thanks To the friends who so kindly assisted at the last illness and death of our beloved father, Albert Patterson, we wish to express our sincere thanks; also for the floral offerings and to the singers. The Patterson children.
