	Obituary, John H. Patten, Howell County Gazette: "Drops Dead in Postoffice J. H. Patten, a former resident of West Plains, but more recently of Springfield, dropped dead in the Mtn. View postoffice Saturday morning from a heart attack. He was 69 years old. Funeral services were held in Mountain View Sunday afternoon, conducted by Rev. Floyd John Evans, of West Plains, and burial was in Oak Lawn cemetery in West Plains. Mr. Patten formerly made his home in West Plains and was an extensive manufacturer and jobber in a line of patent medicines in which he had a large business. He later moved on a large ranch he owned near Mountain View, where he carried on his business. Last year he and his wife went to Floriday to spend the winter, where Mrs. Patten became suddenly ill and died. She was buried there. Surviving the deceased are five sons and three daughters, Mrs. Lindsay Briscoe, wife of a city mail carrier of West Plains; Mrs. Al Pepphalin, Mrs. Duane Hurley, Joe Patten and Dandy Patten, all of Los Angeles, Calif.; Jack, Bennett and Robert Patten, of Springfield."
Obituary	31 Dec 1931	West Plains, Howell County, Missouri, USA [11]
	Obituary, John H. Patten, West Plains Weekly Quill, 31 December 1931: "Funeral Dr. J. H. Patten Yesterday in Mtn. View: Body Former West Plains Man Brought Here For Burial In Oak Lawn Cemetery. (From Monday?s Daily Quill.) Funeral services [services] for Dr. J. H. Patten, 69, formerly of West Plains, who dropped dead in Mountain View Saturday morning, were held in Mountain View yesterday afternoon at 2 o?clock, the Rev. Floyd John Evans of West Plains, conducting the services. Following the services in Mountain View, the body accompanied by three sons of Dr. Patten, Jack, Bennett and Robert of Springfield, and a daughter, Mrs. Lindsay Briscoe, with Mr. Briscoe, was brought to West Plains by motor hearse for burial. The Duncan Undertaking Company of Mountain View had charge of the funeral and burial arrangements. Dr. Patten, who had recently moved to Springfield, from Mountain View, dropped dead in the postoffice [post office] in Mountain View Saturday while making a brief visit there. He had made his home in Mountain View much of the time for the last 19 years. Besides the daughter here, and the three sons in Springfield, who were making their home with their father, Dr. Patten also is survived by two other sons, Joe and Dandy, of Los Angeles, Calif. and two other daughters, Mrs. Al Kepphalin and Mrs. Duane Hurley also of Los Angeles. Mrs. Patten died in Tampa, Fla., a year ago last July, the family having made their home there for a brief period. Serveral years ago Dr. Patten, who was not a doctor, made a small fortune from selling a cure all salve, the formula for which he himself created. His business ability and clever salesmanship resulted in wide sales of his remedy, and when he moved to West Plains in 1916, his enormous business immediately ran up the postage sales at the local post office to much larger figures, and local printers profited from his need for printed matter, delivered in unusually large quantities and in various forms. During the two years the Pattens made their home in West Plains they lived in the beautiful Joseph Knoerle residence on Grace avenue, which Dr. Patten bought, but which now is owned and occupied by Dr. R. E. Hogan of West Plains. After their return to Mountain View, Dr. Patten purchased a job printing equipment for a small office which he and his sons conducted, doing all of Dr. Patten?s own printing. As ales on the ointment dwindled, they took in other printing. The office later was moved to West Plains, Jack, Dady, and other sons of Dr. Patten, conducting the establishment under the name of Patten?s Printery. Since the office was moved from here it has been located in Mountain View and Springfield."

	Obituary of John H. Patten, Mountain View Standard: "J. H. Patten Dropped Dead J. H. Patten, 69 years old, dropped dead in the post office in Mountain View about 9:45 o? clock Saturday morning of last week. The county coroner, T. R. Burns, of Willow Springs did not consider it necessary to hold an inquest as death was probably due to heart trouble. A short funeral service was held at the Duncan funeral home and the body was taken to West Plains for burial. Mr. Patten and three sons had recently moved to Springfield. He returned to Mountain View last week for a brief visit and was preparing to return to Springfield Saturday. The Patten family had lived on their farm southwest of Mountain View much of the time during the past 16 years. Surviving Mr. Patten are his children, Jack, Bennett and Robert, who were making their home in Springfield with their father; Mrs. Lindsay Briscoe of West Plains; Mrs. Al Kepphalin, Mrs. Duane Hurley, Joe and Dandy, all of Los Angeles, Calif."
