Notes for Frederick B. PATTON
Fred was working for the Rail Road when he died. His occupation on his death certificate said he was a Locomotive Fireman. Aunt Eula was taking his lunch to him and found his body in a field. He had tuberculosis and had a hemorrhage. He died as he was walking along the path to work in the morning.745

When he died, Aunt Eula returned to Knob Noster.

Obituary - Funeral Held Today...The funeral of Frederick B. Patton, the Midland fireman who died suddenly from hemorrhages at Florissant Wednesday, was held from the Methodist church at 2 o'clock this afternoon. The Rev. G. H. Stuntz officiated. Burial was in Fairview cemetery. Mr Patton was 38 years of age and is survived by a wife.758

Age - his date of birth used was taken from his grave stone making him 35 years old, but his obituary said he was 38.

[there are also several lodgers listed who work for the railroad]

I'm not really sure why Lucy A. Covey has been listed as a widow. I never did hear that there were any problems between her and her husband. Am also surprised to find them out in Kansas, but that now answers the question of "why William Covey was found alone on the 1900 census in Knob Noster". Eula married in Kansas in 1904, so it looks like some of them may have followed James S. "Jinks" Covey out to Kansas when he worked for the railroad.
