Any new theory or innovation of any kind must establish for itself a place by its worth and merit, for it is always subject to opposition on the part of the conservative who resent change of any kind. This has been the history of osteopathy, but its practice has in the passing years become firmly established as a system of worth in the restoration of health and the prevention of disease. A successful practitioner of this system of healing in Anamosa is Dr. Henry K. Patton. His life record began at Moberly, Missouri, while his parents, Thomas J. and Nellie (Daniels) Patton, were natives of Virginia and Kentucky respectively. The parents lived in Missouri for many years and there the father died in 1891 at the age of fifty-four years, while the mother still survives at the old homestead in that state. In their family were nine children: Effie L., the eldest, is the wife of J. B. Baker, a resident of Cairo, Missouri; Oleta, died in infancy; Carson, who wedded May Patton, is a resident of Clifton Hill, Missouri; Arthur W., makes his home in Tampa, Florida; Henry K., is the next of the family; Mary Elizabeth is the wife of Fred Melvin, living in Blendinsville, Illinois; Pleasant L., who married a Miss Hill, resides on the old homestead at Jacksonville, Missouri; Earnest is married and makes his home in Kansas City, Missouri; and John D., is married and lives in Kansas City.
