General Notes: Husband - John Patterson
He was born at Academia, Juniata County, Pennsylvania, where the early years of his life were passed. After ordinary opportunities at the public school a year was spent at the academy at Mifflintown, and an additional year at the New London Cross-Roads Academy, in Chester County. On the completion of his studies he engaged as manager for his father in his mercantile enterprises, the latter being at that time much absorbed in his various landed interests and the erection of buildings on his farms. He remained thus employed until 1836, and then embarked in business as proprietor. In 1842 he began a brief career as a farmer. In 1846 he superintended the construction of a tannery at Peru Mills, Lack township, which enterprise he afterward managed under the firm-name of William H. Patterson & Co. Subsequently, having spent two years in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, he returned in 1851 to Juniata County, and with his brother resumed the business of a tanner. In 1858 his brother-in-law, William Van Dyck, became his partner, and continued so until the beginning of the Civil War. In 1874, having abandoned the tannery, he continued farming and milling.
He was either a Whig or Republican in politics, but beside holding the office of justice of the peace for at least three terms, was not especially interested in matters of a political nature. His religious associations were with the Peru Presbyterian Church, of which he was a member and a trustee.
