General Notes: Husband - Frederick W. Patterson


He received his earlier education in the public schools of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Later he completed a course in civil engineering at the Western University of Pennsylvania, after which he accepted a position with the Pennsylvania railroad company, and remained with them until 1887, when he accepted the position of chief engineer with the Pittsburg & Lake Erie railroad, which he filled until 1889. He then engaged with the Baltimore & Ohio railroad as engineer of maintenance of way for its Pittsburgh division, which position he held until elected city engineer of McKeesport, in 1891, where for six years he faithfully served his constituency. Beginning in 1897, he became chief road engineer of Allegheny County.
He joined the Masonic order in 1881, and became a member of Tancred commandery in 1887, and a Shriner in the same year.

He was born in South Side, Pittsburgh, and moved to New Brighton in 1866, where he was reared. When he reached manhood he studied civil engineering and became a surveyor.

He and his wife had four children; two were still living in 1904.
