Oregon Solon Dies Suddenly
State Senator Lee Patterson, 57, Portland, died suddenly from a heart ailment Sunday evening in a summer home at Welches on the west slope of Mt. Hood.
The Multnomah county senator, son of the late Governor Isaac L. Patterson of Oregon, was reported to have complained of a shoulder pain while visiting at the summer home of his brother-in-law, George Brice, Seattle. The pain yielded to heat treatment and he said he felt better, but death came suddenly soon after. Mrs. Patterson and the Brices were with him at the time.
Senator Patterson, and independent real estate appraiser, was a director of the Oregon Mutual Savings bank.
He was first elected to the state senate for the 1943 session, and was chairman of the senate military affairs committee in the 1947 session.
A native of Oregon, he was born at Salem October 6, 1889.

Lee Patterson
Lee Patterson of Portland, son of the late Governor Isaac L. Patterson, brought to the state senate in its last three sessions those qualities of sincerity, industry and friendliness which had marked his business career and his family life. It is doubtful if Senator Patterson ever considered the possibilities of higher political office. He went to the state senate to fulfill what he felt to be his obligation in state government and that he did well.
Senator Patterson’s greatest legislative interests were in the protection of veteran’s rights, the advancement of the financial structure of government and the betterment of business, industry and labor. His popularity among his colleagues reflected his equable temperament and his open-minded approach to complex legislative problems. His untimely death is a loss to the entire state.

Death of Senator Creates Vacancy
Private funeral services for State Senator Lee Patterson, 57, who died suddenly of a heart attack Sunday at Welches, will be directed by J.P. Finley & Son. Time of the service had not yet been determined Monday night.
Son of the late Governor Isaac L. Patterson of Oregon, the Multnomah county senator made his home at 2706 N.E. Mason street. He is survived by the widow, Bertha; niece, Barbara Patterson, and a nephew, Philip Patterson Jr.
Senator Patterson’s death will leave his legislative position vacant until the 1948 general election, unless a special session of the legislature should be called prior to the regular 1949 session.
Donald R. Van Boskirk, chairman of the Multnomah county Republican central committee, said a law passed by the last legislature abolished the practice of appointing interim legislators to fill vacancies between elections.
