Lake County Bee, September 20, 1940

BELOVED RESIDENT OF SCOTT�S VALLEY PASSES AWAY ON MONDAY 
The funeral of Mrs. Henrietta Patten, who passed away at her home in Scotts 
Valley on Monday, was held in the Jones Mortuary Wednesday afternoon at 2 
o�clock. The mortuary was filled with sorrowing relatives and friends, who 
gathered to pay their last respects to one everybody loved so well. 
Innumerable floral pieces and bouquets graced the entire front of the chapel and 
were magnificent in their beauty. 
Henrietta Meador was born in San Jose March 12, 1860, the daughter of Mr. and 
Mrs. G. B. Meador, and was one of thirteen children. In 1880 the family moved to 
Bachelor Valley where on August 1, 1883, she became the bride of Thomas Patten. 
Mr. Patten served as supervisor for district four some years ago. 
The couple made their home in Bachelor Valley for six years and then Mr. Patten 
purchased a ranch in Scott�s Valley where the beloved couple made their home for 
over 35 years. 
Mrs. Patten broke her hip in January, 1939, and since that time had been 
confined to her bed. She was lovingly cared for by her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Roy 
Patten, and her husband until the end came at 10 o�clock Monday. She was the 
last member of her large family. 
The passing of Mrs. Patten brought regret for she was one of the most beloved 
residents of the valley. She was never too busy to lend her help to any worthy 
cause and was very active until her accident. 
She is survived by her grief stricken husband, two sons, Roy and Burdette Patten 
of Scotts Valley and three grandchildren. 
The Bee extends its sincere sympathy to the bereaved ones in their sorrow.
