Darling P. Patterson
Dies in Hardeeville
HARDEEVILLE, S. C.—Darling
Peeples Patterson, retired railroad
employee, died at his home here on
May 26. Funeral services were held
at St. Anthony’s Church, with
Father Edward A. Keller offering
the Requiem Mass. Assisting in the
sanctuary were Father John
Simonin, of Beaufort; Father
Henry F. Wolfe and Father A. A.
Plikunas, of Charleston.
Mr. Patterson was the son of
Darling Peeples Patterson and
Mrs. Margaret Gertrude Bellinger
Patterson. His early life was spent
in Walterboro and on the White
House plantation on the Ashapoo
River in Colleton County.
In 1906, Mr. Patterson married
Miss Carolina Epps Gahagan, of
Walterboro, who survives him. He
is also survived by three sons,
Darling Peebles Patterson, Jr„ of
Columbia, Hayes Hardee Patter
son, of Columbia, and John Gaha
gan Patterson, of Hardeeville;
three daughters, Mrs. Davis Col
lier, Haddonfield, N. J., Mrs.
Joseph Chapman, of Winthrop
Plantation, Allendale County, and
Miss Mary Patterson, Hardeeville;
two brothers, Harry Patterson and
Lijcien Patterson, and a sister,
Miss Lucia Patterson, of Walter
boro.
A true scion of the Old South,
Mr. Patterson was all that it rep
resented. A veteran of the Spanish-
American War, he was strong in
his , patriotism, loyal and constant
in his friendships, and true and
steadfast in his devotion to his
Faith. Through many years he took
care of St. Anthony’s chapel, dec
orating the altar, and aiding in
many ways the priests who came
to Hardeeville to celebrate Mass.
It was at tjie Patterson home that
the visiting priests always found
a welcome and where the members
of the congregation from a dis
tance were graciously entertained.
His cheerful comradeship will be
missed by a wide circle of friends
who held him in higl esteem, and
who sympathize with his family in
their bereavement.
