General Notes: Husband - Bordley S. Patterson

---

He was born on the farm he later occupied, the old farm having been his home through life, and he occupied the old stone mansion which was erected by his grandfather in 1806.

In the public schools of his locality he obtained his early education, going later to the Lititz and Mt. Joy academies. He began an agricultural life, which he carried on with success. His farm of 135 acres in Little Britain township, near White Rock, was one of the best cultivated and improved in that locality, his elegant and commodious residence, great barns and attractive surroundings made it an ideal country home. Mr. Patterson was also the owner of a one-half interest in a fine estate, comprising 140 acres in Colerain township, which was as well managed and as productive as the home farm.
His devotion to the Jeffersonian principles of the Democratic party was life-long and he was active in its councils. For seven years he was the township auditor, and he served as judge and inspector of elections. He was not only selected to serve several times on the grand jury of Lancaster County, of which he was sometimes foreman, but also on the United States jury.
In 1884 Mr. Patterson was elected a director of the Northern Mutual Insurance Company, and beginning in 1893 was treasurer of the company.
Mr. Patterson was a member of the Presbyterian Church in Colerain township, serving faithfully as trustee of that institution.
