Died when his father, Warren Patterson, dropped two of his four sons into the Mohican river because he had no home for them. Larry (age 1 1/2) drowned and the other, Raymond, 7, crawled from the stream and wandered most of the night in a cold rain and was finally picked up by a motorist. The two other boys, Gene and Glenn, 8-yr-old twins, were put out of their father's automobile a half mile from the bridge left with a blanket under a tree. They stayed there 16 hours in a rainstorm before being found. Patterson intended to push the twins into the river, too, but "hadn't the heart" to go on after dropping the first two. -
