General Notes: Husband - Samuel Henry Patterson

---

He began his public school education in the institutions of Allegheny City, Pennsylvania, (Pittsburgh North Side), later attending the schools in the different localities to which his father's business called the family, finishing his studies in Bridgeville. When he was seventeen years of age he served a two years apprenticeship in the blacksmith shop of Leonard Kearns, although at the time of his entrance into this trade he was fairly skilled thereat through work in his father's shop. In 1859 he formed a partnership with his former preceptor which continued for seven years, at the end of that time purchasing a farm of eighty acres near Zanesville, Ohio, which he sold one year later, returning to Carnegie, Pennsylvania, where he was for a short time employed as blacksmith by the Mansfield Coal and Coke Company. He established in independent operations on Main street, and was there located for two years, when, upon the formation of the firm of Patterson, Clingeran & Company, he became manager of the planing mill erected by the company on Chartiers street, selling his interest in this firm at the end of nine months. He was then for one year a carpenter, on November 7, 1874, returning to the service of the Mansfield Coal and Coke Company, in 1890 being raised to the position of general foreman of the shops. Four years later the Pittsburgh Coal Company purchased the property of this concern and Mr. Patterson was retained by his new employers in his former capacity. He was a Republican in political persuasion, and after the formation of Chartiers borough he was the first inspector of elections. At the first election held he was made a member of the school board for a term of three years and assessor for seven years. In 1884 and 1886 he served the borough as tax collector. He and his wife were affiliated with the Presbyterian Church, and he held membership in the Junior Order of United American Mechanics and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows.
