  "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."

  "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."

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.

Notes:

Name:

Also seen as "Patton"

Census:

It initially seemed unlikely that this was the same Anna Lee/Annalee Patten. However, a search of Clay A. Patten turns up the 1880 census for Bates County, Missouri, of the Matthias Patten family which includes Andy C. Patten, age 18, and John H. Patten, age 16.

Additionally, the California death index reflects the death of Clay A. Patten in 1943, San Bernardino County, and states his mother's surname as Copeland.

His birthplace is Illinois, as in the 1880, and as in the death index.

Died:

West Family Tree offers no citation for this death date.

Obit of her brother Robert C. Patten does not list her among his surviving siblings in 1965. Lists only sister Mary (Mrs. Lindsay Brisco in West Plains) and Josephine (Mrs. D. J. Hurst--should be Hurley?) in Pomona CA.

Other Events:

• RESEARCH:

  Florida marriage index on FamilySearch reflects the marriage of a John H. Patten, 1943, Palm Beach, citing vol. 855:45293. The index does not name the spouse or give a specific date. This could be Jack Patten's marriage to Edna (surname unknown), who appears in 1945 census with him.

He evidently attempted to sexually assault Leva Carter, an employee at the Commercial Hotel in West Plains. Attacked on July 8. He had been a boarder but got behind with his board and was not occupying a room there when the assault occurred. The girl informed her box and they went to the police where a warrant was sworn out. She was frightened enough that she quit her job and moved back to her relatives in the country. He paid a $5 fine] This was around the time that the Pattens were losing their business and much in the paper for not paying their debts.

Other Events:

• RESEARCH:

  FindAGrave shows a cemetery marker for "J. Royse Patten," in Snohomish, Washington. The death date is (or appears to be) 9 March 1967. The name of the record (not the name on the marker) is Joseph Royse Patten. However, J. Royse Patten married in Pierce County, WA, on 22 August 1967, to Nellie Marie Hopkins. The license and certificate stated that the groom was born in Greene Co MO and was 55 (birth year of about 1912). An additional oddity. Joseph's twin sister Josephine C. Patten was married a second time and divorced from Donald J. Hirst, whose death is reflected in the California Death Index as just one day earlier than Joseph's--on 8 March 1969. There is something wrong here, but it's hard to say what. Knowing that the family was engaged in illegal or scamming activity (patent medicine sales), one wonders if one brother assumed the identity of another to marry? Or to escape detection in some manner? This remains a mystery.

• Census: 10 Apr 1930, Taft, Kern County, California, USA;

  1. Fred A. Colton, head owns, value $20,000, not a farm, male white, 52, married at age 22, can read and write, Indiana, England, Ireland, hotel proprietor, hotel, not a veteran 2. Josephine C. Colton, wife, female, white, 47, married, first married age 16, can read and write, Kentucky, Kentucky, Kentucky, no occupation 3. Joseph R. Patton [Patten], lodger, renting, $20 per month, male, white, 22, single, can read and write, Missouri, Indiana, Ohio, electrician, Geological [Physical?], not a veteran [20 more boarders, none with the surname ?Patten? (or variants); one from Missouri,Thurman J. Farris, age 37, single.]

• Prison: 31 May 1931, San Quentin Prison, San Quentin, Marin County, California, USA;

  Joe Patten's ID card states he was received at San Quentin on 31 May 1931. The ID card states that he was born in Missouri, was age 23 (birth year about 1908), and that his occupation was "printer." These three things support the likelihood that this is the right Joseph Patten.

• Prison: 19 Dec 1934;

  Joe was paroled from San Quentin Prison on this date.

• Prison: 30 Dec 1937;

  "Discharge," which probably means the end of his 3-year parole.

• Census: 2 Apr 1940, Pulaski County Jail, Big Rock township, Little Rock, Pulaski County, Arkansas, USA;

  1. Patton [Patten], Joe R., male, white, 34, single, completed grade 6, born Missouri, in San Francisco California in 1935 [This seems likely to be the same Joe R. Patten, though the surname is spelled "Patton." Middle initial is right, birth state is right, place of residence in 1935 is right (he was in prison in Marin Co, CA), and age is within 2 years of correct age.]

Joseph married Nellie Marie Hopkins on 22 Aug 1963 in Pierce County, Washington, USA. Nellie was born about 1906 in Gage, Ellis County, Oklahoma, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
