Mr. Patterson has seen all the wonderful changes incident to the development and progress of a country blessed with more than the usual amount of natural resources, and in this advancement he has himself been no small factor. Mr. Patterson was born in Tompkins county, New York state on January 4, 1834, and grew to the age of six years in that vicinity, then his parents moved to Wisconsin, where he received his education and at the age of twenty started out for himself, doing government surveying in Minnesota. In 1858 he went to Colorado in search of gold, and spent two years in the west, then returned to Minnesota and arrived home just in time to cast his first vote for Abraham Lincoln for president. At the first call for volunteers by his country, he enlisted and had the honor to be the first man to put his name on the roll as ready for service in the army. He remained with his company for about eighteen months, then received an honorable discharge and went to Wisconsin where he began farming and was married there on February 23, 1865, to Miss Cynthia Smith, of that state. In 1871 he came into Nebraska, settling on a homestead in Boone county and succeeded in building up a good farm, passing through all the pioneer experiences of those days, finally retiring from agricultural pursuits in the fall of 1879, at that time locating in Genoa. He remained there for eight years. His next location was in Central City, where he served as county surveyor and city engineer for four years, then went to Boone county and was county surveyor there for a number of years. In 1900 he removed with his family to Genoa, and has made that his home since that time. The Patterson family are widely and favorably known throughout Nance county as being among the prominent pioneers of the region. Mr. Patterson is well-to-do, having accumulated a valuable property by dint of thrift and good business ability, and he also takes an active interest in the commercial and political life of his county and state.
