CARD OF THANKS

It is with appreciation that we acknowledge the kindness and sympathy shown us by our friends and relatives during the long illness and at the death of our father, W.B. Patteson. Especially do we thank Rev. Reeves, Drs. O.P.Miller and N.A. Mercer and Stotts & Cheatham. - The Family.

I am looking for the parents of Oliver Patteson and also any information on O.Patteson who was married to Sarah Jane Dunbar. They were the parents of my great grandmother Louella Patterson. I would love to have Louella's siblings. I have a record which mentions a sister but no name. I know Oliver was married to Mary Belle Russell also and there may have been another earlier marriage.
