General Notes: Husband - Hon. Livingston Bell Patterson

---

He was educated in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, and became a civil engineer. In the winter of 1855-56 he was elected to the legislature, and filled the office of justice of the peace for thirty years, until his death. He was a member of Lebanon Presbyterian Church.

He was born in Mifflin township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, at the old Patterson homestead. He obtained his early education in the district school and then took a course in civil engineering and surveying in Pittsburgh under the instruction of Mr. Twining, an eminent engineer of that city. He inherited one hundred and fifty acres of the old homestead from his father and this he improved and cultivated, erecting a farm house. He also followed his profession and was engaged in surveying at times during his entire life. He took an active part in public affairs, serving as justice of peace for thirty-two years, was a member of the Pennsylvania house assembly in 1855-56, and like his father was one of the stalwart and influential Democrats of the township. He was a frequent delegate to county and state conventions, his advice and counsel being listened to and followed by party leaders when matters affecting his district were under discussion. He retained possession of his farm all his life, although he disposed of the coal underlying it when a fair price was offered. Like his forbears he was a pillar of Lebanon Presbyterian Church.
