Harrison's obituary was published in the Rochester Sentinel on 15 December 1923:

Harrison PATTON, 24, formerly a resident of this city and son of the late Mrs. Pearl PATTON, who died in Rochester last winter, died in a hospital at South Bend, Saturday, just before noon from injuries sustained in an automobile accident in that city, Friday evening. Patton, who drives an American Railway Express Company truck, was working at his usual duties Friday evening when his truck was struck by a Ford coupe driven by A. E. SWEENY, of South Bend, in such a manner as to throw Patton onto the pavement. He alighted on his head and sustained injuries about the back of the head and his neck, which rendered him unconscious. He was rushed to a hospital, but died Saturday morning without having regained consciousness. Word of the accident was received in Rochester by his sister, Miss Mabel PATTON, an employe of the Van Trump Company. Harrison Patton was born in Fulton county, December 12, 1899. He went to school in Rochester, graduating from the grade schools and later joined the army, serving during the World War during which time he spent 11 months overseas. He was a member of the 62nd Indian Infantry. Upon his discharge from the army he moved to South Bend where he had been employed and where in 1922 he was married to Miss Ruby GIEST, of that city. Surviving are the widow; three sisters, Miss Mabel PATTON, Miss Josephine PATTON, Chicago, and Mrs. Fred FOGLESONG, Chicago, and one brother, Robert PATTON, a student in the Rochester high school. Few details regarding the accident and disposition of the body were available here Saturday. It was expected that the body will be brought to Rochester for burial, although funeral arrangements have not yet been made. The man responsible for the accident has made no statement and it is not known whether he will be held responsible for the death of the former Rochester boy.
Miss Mabel [PATTON] and Robert PATTON and Theodore JOHNSON, of this city, went to South Bend where they attended the funeral services at the A. M. Russel chapel at two o’clock Monday afternoon for Harrison PATTON, who died as the result of an automobile accident last Saturday. Burial was made in the Riverview cemetery.²

Death*

He died on 15 December 1923 at South Bend, St. Joseph, Indiana, at age 24; buried at the Riverview Cemetery in South Bend.²
