General Notes: Husband - Joseph Patton

---

His father died when he was but five years old. The family consisted of a younger brother and himself. His mother came to Crawford County, Pennsylvania, in 1827, settling in North Shenango, although Joseph was in South Shenango most of the time. He lived in his native county till he was twenty-one years of age, and there learned cabinet-making and carpentering, and also worked at the undertaking business. He purchased a farm in West Shenango Township which he improved in connection with working at his trade. In 1847 he was elected County Commissioner, serving three years. In 1849 he was elected to the Legislature, serving one year, and in 1870 was again elected County Commissioner. He was one of the first Justices of the Peace in the vicinity, serving fifteen years. He was also one of the most efficient School Directors in his township. During most of the time he held these offices he was working at his trade, building many houses in Hartstown, when that village commenced, and in the country; having exchanged his farm for a farm near Hartstown. For many years he was a leading citizen. In 1867 he suffered from the effects of a severe cut from a circular saw, which nearly severed his right arm.
