Her brother, a man by the name of Doddendorf, who is a student in the Government vocational school at Farmington and boarding at the Schroeder home was in the garden at the time. Mrs. Schroeder heard the shot and rushed into the house, finding the doctor lying on the floor. The shooting occurred in the bedroom of the house occupied by Dr. and Mrs. Schroeder.
Coroner C. J. Hill of Bismarck held an inquest over the remains Tuesday evening at 7:30 o'clock. The coroner's jury returned a verdict of death from a self-inflicted bullet wound.

"Grandma" Patt as she was familiarly called was a woman who thought her first duty was to her children, hence her life was given to making the home a pleasant place, and of course in this she did not fail. For several years she has been living with her son-in-law, Charles Ward of this city. Several weeks ago she was taken with La Grippe, from which she seemed to be recovering when pneumonia supervened, terminating fatally Monday evening, March 10, at about 8 o'clock. She was a member of the M. E. Church South, and greatly enjoyed her Christian experiences. Hers was a bright sunny life and she will be greatly missed by her friends.

Mrs. Patt was of that good old fashioned type of true womanhood and motherhood, a home builder, one who rejoiced in doing for others and in this she was beloved by all who were so fortunate as to come in contact with her. Her life was well and profitably spent, she lived to see its fruition in dutiful sons and daughers all of whom have the sympathy of a wide circle of friends.
