General Notes: Husband - John R. Patterson

---

He came to Westmoreland County from the eastern part of Pennsylvania in an early day of the county's history, and settled in Rostraver township on a farm where he resided up to within four or five years of his death. During those four or five years he lived at West Newton, where he died at the age of ninety-five.

He was born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and accompanied his father to Rostraver township, Westmoreland County, when a young man. He was a prominent man in his community, an earnest member of the Bethesda and West Newton United Presbyterian churches, in which he always led the singing. He died aged ninety-four years. He was a democrat until the Civil War when he became a republican and remained a member of that party until his death. He served as overseer of the poor for several years besides holding other township offices.
