Here is Henry's obituary.
Henry C. Patton was born at Maineville, Warren county, Ohio, September 7, 1844, and died in Logansport, Ind.; July 18, 1913, age 68 years, 10 months and 11 days.

Shortly after returning home he

In 1871 he was united in marriageto Mary E. Jones of Fulton and to this union four children were born, John and Nellie, who died in infancy; Samuel B., who died seven years ago at the age of 32 years, and Noah S., now living at Fort Wayne. In 1875 he moved and settled near Fulton county, Ind.

On July 14, he met with an accident which caused concussion of the brain, and he died on July 18, having never regained consciousness.
He was a true and loving companion, a very kind and affectionate father and always had a kind word of greeting for all his friends.
A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled.
A place is vacant in our homes
Which never can be filled.
Funeral services weret held in the Fulton U. B. church Sunday afternoon at 2:30, conducted by Rev. Butler.
The remains were tenderly laid to rest in the Fulton cemetery.
