| j i 1 Roy Patton Dead FORT WORTH, Texas, May 6.— Roy Patton, 57, one of Fort Worths best known citizens, who became known to many of Americas turf followers during the hey-i day of racing in Texas through printing programs and other jobs at Arlington and other tracks, died suddenly here Sunday. Death was due to a heart attack. Mr. Patton, who was buried with Masonic honors, was born in Roanoke, Texas, close to Fort Worth. He operated a printing business which will be carried on by his son, Louis Patton. He had been ill for several weeks but not seriously it was thought. He had planned to attend the Derby.
