Formerly Allie Coleman of Port Robinson
[From the Oelwein, Iowa, Record-August 18, 1905]
The death of Mrs. Allie Pattison, one of the oldest and most esteemed residents of Oelwein, occurred at the family home Saturday morning (Aug. 12th) after a lingering illness, during which, while her sufferings were hard to bear, she bore with Christian fortitude.
Allie Coleman was born in Port Robinson, Ontario, Canada, December 25, 1847, and in June 1870, was married to Dr. Israel Pattison. To this union were born five children:-Mrs. F.W. Quirmbach, of Melrose, Minn.; Mrs. Wm. Matthie, of Clarion; and Drs. J.F. and D.M. and Mrs. A.C. Phillips of Oelwein, all of whom survive their parents; Dr. Israel Pattison having preceded his wife two years. Died: 26 April 1903.
Mrs. Pattison and her husband were among the oldest settlers in this county, and she had been a resident of Oelwein for the past thirty-three years, removing here from Coytown, when it was seen that Oelwein promised to be a town.
The funeral services were held at St. Mary’s church by the rector, Rev. F.C. Smith, assisted by Rev. Dr. Hoyt of Harlan at 2 p.m. Tuesday. Interment in the Oelwein cemetery.
The deceased was a tireless worker in the Episcopal church of which she had been a member since childhood. To her efforts largely is due the establishment of St. Mary’s church in this city. When in her health she contributed vastly of her time toward church work and was mother of the choir for many years, taking deep interest in all that concerned her chosen religious faith. She was of such assistance in this work that her place can never be filled. Mrs. Pattison was a woman of the strongest traits of character. It was her religion to do right and do good. She was a true wife and mother; her acts regarding home and family were examples for others to follow.
The death of her beloved husband was a sad blow to her and she never became reconciled to it.
She died in the Christian faith, strong in the belief that she was going to a brighter and better world and to join her departed loved one.
Mrs. Pattison was a member of the eastern Star, the Rathbone Sisters, the Mystic Toilers and the Women’s Relief Corps. She was a Christian woman highly esteemed by a multitude of people and many of her kind deeds long be remembered by those left behind.
Besides the five children, Mrs. Pattison leaves to mourn her departure, a sister, Mrs. George Ross, of Port Robinson, Ontario, who has been with her for the past two months; and two brothers, Dilly Coleman, who resides in Canada and Andrew Coleman of Columbus, Ohio.
The funeral was largely attended. Friends of years standing grieved with the family as the last sad rites were said and the choir of children, which she had so long led, sang at her departure.
The Elks, Eastern Stars and Rathbone Sisters marched with the remains.
Grand and glorious were the floral displays, fitting fully the grand and good life, the departed had led.
John Jamison, B.E. Hough, P.J. Miles, Gus Oelwein, A.J. Fairley and J.H. Kerwin, life- long friends of the family were honorary pallbearers. Ernest Pfeifer, Dr. Cooney, Dr. O’Connor, Dr. Leehey, Dr. Robinson and Dr. Ward bore the remains.
The bereaved family has all sympathy in this sad hour, and though mother and sister is gone from this world, we may rest assured that it is well with her and she is resting in peace with her Lord and Master.
