Final Services For Mojave Area Pioneer
On Tuesday morning at 10:30 final rites were said for Charlie Pattison. A pioneer in 
Mojave these past 34 years he was part of the history of our community. His passing 
was in Kern, County Hospital last week, October 18th, and funeral arrangements were 
incomplete until his daughter Agatha Lucille Dorman of Reno, Nevada and a son 
Gerald Ward Pattison of Oaklawn, Illinois made arrangements; Charlie also is sur-
vived by one brother, Robert Pattison of Temple City, California.
Eighty-two years ago on October 29th he was born in St. George in Kansas. This 
week on October 29th, his birthday, he was buried. He was a member of the Modern 
Woodsmen of the World, St. George (Kansas) chapter, and he came West to Mojave 
thirty-four years ago.
Charlie had the ice and coal business on the corner of L street and Shasta and lived 
just a block away on K Street. Apropo of his Western Pioneering "Home on the
Range" and "Goldmine in the Sky" were the two songs rendered by Rachel Hodges at 
the services at the O'Donnell Funeral Chapel at which Rev. James Thompson 
officiated.
