Greetings, ...from SDFP, Friday, Jan. 11, 1918 White Plague is Cause of Death John G. Patton Stricken After Illness of a Short Duration. John G. Patton, well know Streator man, died at his home 612 East Bridge street, yesterday afternoon at 6 o'clock of tuberculosis, after an illness of the past six months. The deceased was born in Streator, October 9, 1879, and during his early life he worked at the bottle blowers trade, but for the past several years had been a bartender. He was united in marriage sixteen years ago to Anna Frederick, who passed away nine months ago. Surviving are three children---Clarence, John and Arthur. The deceased was a member of Clan MacGregor and the Bottle Blowers union. The funeral services will be held at the home Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock, and the interment will be in made in Riverview cemetery. I could not find his wife's obituary. Also, there was no reference to where the children were living. Also, Hugh Patton, aged 76 died in September of that year. Was Hugh the father of John G.? I couldn't get a look at his obituary, there was a power failure in the downtown area. I still have one more obituary to look up. Joanie
