General Notes: Husband - Peter Patterson

---

He attended the public schools of his native town, and then became an apprentice in his father's shop. On completing his apprenticeship, he went to Edinburgh, Scotland, where he worked in several engineering establishments, and later went to Glasgow and became connected with some of the marine engine works. In 1866 Mr. Patterson came to America, and, after working a short time in Connecticut, went to New York city, where for four years he was employed as a machinist. In 1871 he secured a position as machinist at the National tube works, of Boston, Massachusetts, and six months later was sent to McKeesport, Pennsylvania, to erect machinery in the mill then being built. Subsequently he was made foreman-machinist and held that position for a number of years. He was an important assistant in the erection of the National rolling mills department of the National tube company, and later became superintendent of the National tube works. He filled that position until 1897, when he became consulting engineer of the National tube works company, and manager of the United seamless tube works, the latter works having been designed and constructed by him. Mr. Patterson continued to fill these positions until the spring of 1902, when he became consulting engineer of the National tube company. He invented a number of very valuable improvements, as well as much machinery and a number of processes used in pipe and tube manufacturing. He was a member of the engineers' society of western Pennsylvania, with which he was connected for over twenty years. He was a member of the First United Presbyterian church, and served as a trustee for a number of years.
