The late Mrs. Patton had been in good health until a week ago when she became suddenly ill, and it was necessary to call medical aid. Despite loving care from her family and expert medical attention she gradually lost strength.
As a last effort it had been intended to send her Phoenix this morning by airplane for a special operation. However, she passed away in the late afternoon of yesterday.

Remembered For Comforting Songs

She was a member of the church choir for many years, and will be remembered by many for the comfort and sympathy she gave unselfishly in the hymns which she sang at many funerals.She was also prominent in activities of the Sultana Rebekah Lodge, of which she was a member for years.
Leah Patton was a member of the Alexander Woman's Relief Corp of Globe, Arizona which is said to be the oldest women's organization of the city.
The late Mrs. Patton had a wide circle of friends, not only among the pioneer people of Arizona, of whom she was one, but of those who came later to the Southwest. News of her death occasioned widespread regret and sorrow in the community.
