Claude C. "Pat" Patterson, 86, of Niagara, died Sat. April 14 at Dickinson County Memorial Hospital. He was born on June 7, 1920 in Mason City, Ill., the son of the late Christopher and Maude (Miller) Patterson.

Pat graduated from Niagara High School in 1938. He was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1941, serving in the European Theater as a cook during World War II. He was discharged in 1945. He then went back to work at the Niagara paper mill for forty-four years, retiring in 1985.
