MR. SPEAKER: Your committee, appointed to prepare a suitable resolution commemorating the life, character, and public service of the Honorable H. C. Pattison, begs leave to submit the following memorial:
H. C. Pattison was born on March 7, 1868, on a farm near Fairfield, Iowa, Jefferson county, and died on May 2, 1943, at the age of 75 years.
On March 17, 1896, he was married to Eliza Stout, who died on August 12, 1924. To this union were born the following children: Earl, deceased, Paul E. Pattison, Route 1, Davenport, Iowa, and Edna L. Pattison, Fairfield, Iowa, who survive him.
Mr. Pattison served his state and community well and took an active constructive part in civic and public affairs. He served on the County Board of Supervisors from 1905 to 1911, was secretary of the School·Board, Township Clerk and Trustee, and director and treasurer of the Farmers Insurance Company; a member of the Presbyterian Church and Odd Fellows Lodge. Always a loyal Republican and active in affairs of his party, Mr. Pattison was elected to the Legislature in 1926 and served as a member of the Forty-second, Forty-third and Forty-fourth General Assemblies. He lived a long, honorable and active life, and will be greatly missed in his community.
Therefore, Be It Resolved by the House of Representatives of the Fifty-first General Assembly, That in the passing of the late Honorable H. C. Pattison, the State has lost a valued and honored citizen, and the House would tender, by this resolution, its sincere sympathy to the surviving members of his family in their sorrow; and
Be It Further Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be spread upon the Journal of the House, and that the Chief Clerk be instructed to send an enrolled copy to the family of the deceased.
