The deceased was born in Genesee County, New York, April 27, 1825, where he lived until he reached his thirteenth year, when he removed with his father to Tippecanoe County, Indiana, and it was here that Mr. Pattison spent the greater portion of his life.

He was married at an early age, and was the father of eight children, five of whom are now living. His wife died fourteen years ago, and a few years thereafter Mr. Pattison moved to Illinois, where he lived until about four years ago, when he came to Iowa.

The deceased lived in Manning with his son O.H. during the last four months. Mr. Pattison has been an active member of tire M.E. Church for forty-five years and was an exemplary Christian.
