General Notes: Husband - William Lincoln Patterson

---

In the old Beechtree school, he began his education, continuing until he was seventeen years of age. At the home farm he applied himself, giving to his father the fullest possible assistance and cooperation in all departments of the farm work. The old homestead continued as the stage of his activities for many years, and his only lapse from active association with the home farm was for a brief interval during which he was employed with an engineering corps on the line of Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburgh railroad, and another period of seven years during which, after his marriage, he operated an adjoining farm, a tract of 123 acres which he purchased of his father. At the expiration of the period noted he returned to the old homestead, of which he was thereafter the owner, improving the property extensively until it was one of the model farms of the county. He remodeled and modernized the substantial old house which his father erected in 1861, and the original barn erected by his father likewise was enlarged and remodeled.
Mr. Patterson and his wife were zealous and influential members of the Beechwoods Presbyterian Church, which he served several years as a trustee. He believed firmly in the basic principles of the Prohibition party, but in national elections he voted the Republican ticket. He served for some time as school director.
