    Wagga Advertiser, Wed. 24 September, 1879

    We regret to hear of the death of Mr. Robert Patterson of Wallacetown who was killed last Saturday by a kick from a horse. In the issue of the Australasian of the same date as the deceased gentleman was killed a letter appears from Mr. Patterson defending the pedigree of Zingara which has been impugned by a writer in that journal. There was no inquest as to the cause of death; the flooded state of the country on Saturday preventing the coroner from proceeding to the scene of the accident. The coroner being also satisfied from the statements of eye witnesses that the cause of death was honestly came by.

    Wallacetown (From our own correspondent)

    It is with painful regret that I have to record the sudden death by a frightful accident of Mr. Robert Patterson Jun. of Geralgambeth. It would appear that a mare belonging go Mr G. Linden was kicking the deceased's entire horse Zingara when the deceased, who had hold of his horse, in his attempt to get him away, received a kick by the mare on the temple, smashing in one side of his head. The deceased fell, never spoke, and died on the spot. Upon the sad news becoming known deep regret was felt for the father and brothers at their sad loss. He was known here for many years as a good neighbour and one of the foremost in all matters for the benefit of this district, never was known to say an unkind word of anyone and was universally respected. His sad and untimely end is deeply regretted and has cast gloom all round.

    Death of Mr. John Patterson.
    For some time past, Mr. John Patterson, of Newtown, had been suffering from a malignant disease of the stomach, which created much anxiety on the part of his wife and family, and Dr. Browne has been in constant attendance on the case, and did his utmost to prolong life, but never felt at any juncture that there was much chance of overcoming the ailment. Deceased was for a long time a martyr to indigestion, and possibly same had something to do with introducing the malady which brought about his death. He was an honest, hardworking man, his calling being that of a carpenter and builder, in which he gave the utmost of satisfaction to everyone who employed him. He exhibited a great fondness for the trade too, never being idle. For a long time he worked at buildings on the Gibraltar mine, and after that was almost constantly employed by Mr. Grill in the erection of buildings, and his last contract before being laid up with the illness that proved fatal was helping to effect improvements at Mr. Chapman's store. He was of an affable and genial nature, a kind and indulgent father, a fond husband, a peaceful neighbour, and upright in integrity. He leaves a sorrowing widow and five members in the family - two sons and three daughters, all grown up and settled in life to mourn their sad loss, and we sincerely sympathise with them in their sorrowful trouble. The names of the family are Messrs Herbert and Jack Patterson, Mrs. I. Hayden, Mrs. J. Edgar, and Mrs. Prowse (Adelong). Deceased died at the residence of his daughter, Mrs Edgar where he had been laid up for past three weeks.
