Until a short time ago, Mrs. Patterson had been engaged in the grocery and bakery business in Chicago. Because of ill health she was obliged to give up her business, and, at the time of her death was making her home with her son. While she had been suffering from nervous prostration and other physical disorders for several years, she did not become seriously ill until about six months ago. The final illness which resulted in her death came upon her one week ago last Sunday.

Commit thou all thy grief
And ways into His hands,
To His sure truth and tender care
Who earth and heaven commands;
Who points the clouds their course,
Whom winds and seas obey,
He shall direct thy wandering feet,
He shall prepare thy way.
