Obituary.
Died at Manning Iowa, Oct. 17 inst. Mrs. C. L. VanPatten. The
deceased will be better remembered as the youngest daughter of
Mrs. Lamson, of Millburn, by her first husband Mr. Joseph Sadler.
Mrs. Van Patten was born on the farm of Mr. Sadler, March 12,
1862 and died as she had lived at peace with all, without fear
and uttering no regret, although concious to the last, except at
parting with her husband, friends, and infant son then eight days
old. Her last words were to name him, five minutes before death
called her for his own. The infant whose name was lost upon her
lips was to follow her in one short week to that undiscovered
country from whose bourn no trouble doth return, Mrs. Van Patten
desired to be buried at Millburn and her wish was faithfully
regarded by loving hands and all that is mortal of her who we all
loved, and her infant son lie in our quiet cemetery and their
spirits have gone to God who gave them. In the death of Mrs. Van
Patten there passed away a true type of an American woman being
educated, a lover of books and having a good store of general
information, industrious and an exceptionally good house wife.
She was a true and faithful wife and friend, frank and without
deceit. Hers was a blameless life ending with a peaceful death
and all her friends can do now is to mourn which seems the common
lot of all at some time. Friend.
