Like most of the first settles of Paris, the Patterson were far from wealthy. James once reported his assets as $7,

a cow and gun.. When they arrived, the family had three months of provisions and worked through the First winter

to Clear five Acres of land so crops could be raised to sustain them throughout the next year.

Spaulding, Lilly A. (Wife)

o.d. 1858

Orleans Spaulding and Philanzo Bowen immigrated to Michigan in 1836, and selecting the district now known as

Paris, made their home there. The lots of some were peculiarly distressing. Orleans Spaulding, who was before

mentioned as having settled in the year 1836, informs us that, in the month of June, 1837, he was afflicted with

sore eyes, and that for six years he was thereby unfitted for labor. During three years of the time he was totally

blind, and that, too, while his family was dependent upon the productions of their little farm for a living. But there

were trials of a general nature which had to be endured at this period, occasioned by the " hard times," or " wild

cat times," as they were commonly called.

In 1834, five men-Abraham Laraway, Alexander Bouk, James Clark, Jacob Friant and Orleans Spaulding, started

together from the east part of the State; came on foot a part of the way, and the rest in an Indian canoe. They did

not take up land until 1836; then they located themselves in the east part of the town; and cut out a road to Grand

Rapids.

The case of Orleans Spaulding is nor without its special interest. He came with but little means, and went to work,

clearing his lands. In the mean time his wife died, and he was grievously afflicted with ophthalmic, so that for years

he was blind. In this state he chopped and cleared two acres of land, planted corn, and struggled for a living.

During the time that he was blind, he one time went to the Rapids to see if in any way he could make a raise of

something to eat. In some place of business George Evans encountered him; and, in his direct way, said to him: "

Spaulding, what are you here for?" Spaulding told him his situation, and what he wanted. "Here," said Evans, "

take this, and go to ’- s grocery, and get what you want;" at the same time handing him an order on that grocery in

Evans’ favor. Spaulding took the paper, went and got three or four dollars’ worth of provisions, and had them

indorsed. Very thankful, he returned the order to Evans, who, looking at it and seeing the small amount indorsed,

said, ’ Go back again, and get what you need. What you have got won’t last a week. Take up the whole order."

This was but the beginning. With no immediate prospect of pay, and a fair chance of losing all, he continued to

force upon Spaulding his accommodations until they amounted to several hundred dollars; never hinting at

payment; generously waiting until better times enabled him to cancel the legal indebtedness; and then taking, not

asking, his pay. The debt of gratitude can never be canceled; and the memory of Evans, who died under a cloud,

will ever be dear to Spaulding. It may here be added, parenthetically, that this conduct of Evans toward Spaulding

was no exceptional instance; for, be his faults what they may, no more generous-hearted man ever lived in the

Grand River Valley than George C. Evans. And probably the history of the State cannot furnish another instance

where the show of justice was so shamelessly outraged as when he, for an act which showed no moral turpitude,

was sent to the State Prison, there to die. The town of Paris was organized in 1839; then including Gaines. The

first meeting was at the house of Hiram Allen. Supervisor, Joel Guild; Clerk, Hiram H. Allen; Treasurer, Robert

Civil war; brother S. J. Spaulding now resides in Plainfield, Mich. July 4, I898, Mr. and Mrs. Patterson celebrated

their golden wedding, which was an occasion of great rejoicing and enjoyment. Sluman S. Bailey, who as a justice

of the peace had married them and had attended the twenty-fifth anniversary party, on this occasion made a neat

little speech on pioneer life, and among others were present some who had attended the wedding fifty years

Mrs. Patterson was also very industrious and likewise frequently worked out for others. She did her own spinning,

and wove all the cloth used in the family. When Miner Patterson came to Paris township he had $2 in cash, a good

ax, a gun and the two steers. He cleared off his land himself, worked for his brothers and two brothers-in law,

constantly added to his possessions until he owned at one time 350 acres in one body, and personally cleared off

the trees from it all. He was an expert with the ax, chopped a great deal for others, and at the age of twenty years

had no equal. Mr. Patterson has lived on his present farm sixty years, built his present house in I856, and here his

mother died in 1864, aged seventy-seven years. She was a wonderful woman, and was always sought for by her

neighbors in cases of childbirth, in which she acted as doctor, midwife and nurse. Mr. Patterson has grown grain

mainly, has kept about 200 sheep, and also a number of cows, his mother having been a famous butter maker, in

which art his wife also excells. Mr. Patterson was married July 4, I848, to Miss Sally Ann Spaulding, daughter of

Orleans and Sally (VanDyke) Spaulding, who came from Seneca county, N. Y., in 1831, settled in Wayne county,

Mich; came to Kent county, Mich., in I836, and settled in Paris township in 1837. Mrs. Patterson was born in

Seneca county, N. Y., July 4, 1826; her mother died in Wayne county, Mich., and her father in Paris, Mich., at the

age of eighty four years.

The children born to Mr. and Mrs. Patterson were named Warren A., a farmer in Cascade township; John J., who

lives on a farm adjoining the homestead; Sarah Ellen, wife of 0. Vanderbilt, also on an adjoining farm; Delia May,

who was married to George N. June, died at the age of twenty-eight years, and left two children, one of whom died

a few weeks later; Miner L., who manages the home I I farm, is married to Sarah E. McKersey and has one child,

Ruby, aged three years. He is also a member of the Masonic lodge at Ada. Mr. Patterson has been a deacon in

the East Paris Congregational church for thirty years. In politics he is a stanch republican, but cast his first

presidential vote with the Whig party, in 1840, for William H. Harrison, and has never missed voting at a national

election since that date,but he takes no special interest in local politics. In his walk through life he has always been

strictly honorable and upright and has never had. a law suit carried to an issue, and no name in the county of Kent

is more respected than that of Miner Patterson.

ROBERT B. PATTERSON. To him who, in the love of nature, as exhibited in the myriad-mind of the youth of a

community, sees the need of suitable directing hands, and fitting himself; takes up the work for the love of it, all

students of social and economic subjects bow with respect. Such a man is he to whom attention is now briefly

directed. With only meager advantages himself for education, but with the same indomitable will that has

characterized numerous members of the family, he early determined upon securing the best training obtainable

under his restrictions. At seventeen he passed examination and secured a certificate to teach. However, he

remained at home, assisting his father upon the farm for two years longer, when he began to teach. He followed

this most honorable vocation nearly sixteen years, becoming one of the most popular educators, whose services

were in constant demand. He was very successful in this profession, and many of his pupils are now filling

responsible positions, for which

N. J., May 21, 1804. He came to Michigan, in 1828, and settled in Wayne county, purchasing forty acres of land,

but a year later he sold it and went to Plymouth, purchased forty acres, and again sold out, and this time went to

Superior, Washtenaw county. Three years later he settled in Paris, and in 1836 purchased 160 acres in Section

14. A year later he sold his claim and purchased 160 acres in Sections 8 and 9. He was one of the earliest if not

the first white settler in the present limits of the township. He afterward lived in Gaines about thirty years, but

returned to Paris and purchased 106 acres on Section 30. Mr. Clark adhered to Greenback doctrines, politically.

He served as justice of the peace fourteen years, township clerk three years, and supervisor three years. The

Pattersons came from Steuben county, New York, and in 1828 settled in Washtenaw county, Michigan, where the

father died, in 1831. The mother, with five boys to rear, educate, and fit for the responsibilities of the future, proved

equal to the emergency and continued the management of the homestead six years, when she came with her

family to Paris township and purchased forty acres of land in Section 13, where she spent the remainder of her

life. The first two years after her removal to this county she herself labored for wages. Her energy was wonderful

and her perseverance indomitable, and with the aid of her sons she paid for her land and spread its borders until

the tract in the possession of the family included 350 acres. Her sons all settled near her and she was to the end

of her life, March 1, 1864, their wise counsellor and most judicious friend. Grand Rapids and Kent County,

villages and townships ... biographies of representative citizens. History of Michigan ...

CHAUNCY PATTERSON, an old pioneer of Cascade township, Kent county, Mich., was born in Seneca county,

N. Y., April 21, 1823, and of his parentage an account will be found in the sketch of Miner Patterson, of Paris

township, printed on another page of this volume. Chauncy Patterson came to Michigan in 1828 with his parents,

who first located in Washtenaw county, where his father, Robert, brother, Jacob, to Kent county, the latter having

purchased land in 1835, where the East Paris school-house now stands. Chauncy soon went to Grand Rapids,

where he met A. H. Wansey, of South Division street, with whom he lived two years, being permitted to attend

school during parts of two winters. He then, at sixteen years of age, returned to his brother’s and assisted his

brother Miner to erect the latter’s house. He then hired out, at $14 per month, to a man named Vanderpool, who

lived near the present fair grounds. He proved to be about the meanest man in Kent county, for when Chauncy

had faithfully worked six months his pay was withheld, and was recovered only by a lawsuit. At the age of eighteen

years he purchased forty acres of land in Cascade township, in the same section in which his present farm is

situated. While he lived with Mr. Wansey that gentleman gave him a calf, and Chauncy bought another to replace

one given him by his mother, which calf had died. When these had become two-year-old steers he traded them,

adding $o1 in cash, for the forty acres alluded to. The next year he added another forty-acre tract, of which eight

had been cleared. He made his home with his mother and brother Miner, but continued to work out, and, as he

could, worked on his own place. His work for others was the only kind to be had-that of clearing off land-and at this

he and Miner worked almost constantly. He became expert with the ax, and at one time cut six acres in twenty-one

and a half days, which was considered to be quite a feat. He built a log house, 20 x 26 feet, of hewn timber, and it

was then considered to be about the best in the neighborhood. Chauncy Patterson was married, on Christmas day,

1845, to Miss Sarah Dickson, daughter of Daniel and Nancy Dickson, who came died in 1831. In 1836 he

accompanied his I from Canada to Kent county, Mich., when she was eleven years of age, and settled where I.

Dickson Davis recently lived, at Bowne Station. This was the event of the season, and everybody was invited,

there being no one left out in the cold to charivari the young couple. Mr. Patterson, with his bride, in April moved

into his own house. He continued to add to his own possessions; for the equity in the fortyacre tract he now lives

upon he traded a horse and a cutter, chopping twenty-one acres of timber to pay off the mortgage. He added

another forty-acre tract adjoining, for which he traded his ox-team and ten bushels of wheat, agreeing to pay, in

addition, $60 in cash, when he would raise that amount. The team was unhitched from the plow, although it was

the first day’s plowing for corn, and with the wheat was turned over to the seller. For the $60 he gave his simple

word; and when his crop of wheat was sold that word was redeemed. Another yoke of oxen was now necessary;

and as he had $25 left in halfdollar pieces, he sought a man who had two teams, of which he bought one, paying

fifty coins, and exchanging a cow. It took the better part of a day to find the oxen, which were running loose in the,

woods. With this team and a horse he continued his farming. From the forest he eventually developed one of the

best farms in the township. In I86I he paid $1,500 for eighty acres, sixty of which were improved with good barns,

etc. He once owned about 400 acres; but some of this was given to his children as they became of age. When not

sharing with them his own land he bought for them farms elsewhere; one, however, receiving a good portion of the

home farm as his share. Mr. Patterson has been a hard-working man, but he has worked intelligently. He was

successful in raising cattle, making single sales to the value. of $800 or $900. He also grew large quantities of

wheat, for which he has re I ceived as high as $3 per bushel. He sold one load of wool for $1,135-the largest

income from one load of produce ever taken from the village of Cascade. Mr. Patterson is a republican in politics,

but cast his first presidential vote for Henry Clay, the whig candidate, in 1844. As a republican, he has attended

the conventions of his party and worked for its success; but still has had little time to attend to public affairs,

though he has served for many years as a school director. The children born to Mr. and Mrs. Patterson are six in

number, and named, in order of birth, as follows: John M., of Grand Rapids; William H., of Cascade township;

Chauncy Irving, farming near his father’s home; George Martin, also of Cascade township; Ida May, wife of Fred

R. Shear, and Nellie M., wife of William Eardly, who operates the home farm. In his early days, Mr. Patterson had

a neighbor named William DeGolia, and with him Mr. Patterson became associated for four years in handling

stock. DeGolia was a great trader, and instilled much of this science of trading into Mr., Patterson, and this tuition

served the latter a good purpose for many a time later in life. A warm place still exists in Mr. Patterson’s heart in

memory of Mr. DeGolia, who was, indeed, a man of many sterling qualities. t The first dollar earned by Mr.

Patterson was when, as a boy of thirteen years, he rode a horse for a neighbor in plowing corn among the stumps.

His pay was a dollar bill, which he held so tightly in his hand that it was wet through with perspiration when he

arrived home. "The boy was father to the man," as the poet Wordsworth expresses it, as not a, dollar has since

passed through his hands that has been uselessly expended. A little, wiry man, but possessing indomitable will

and perseverance, few men have done more to promote the civilization and to improve the town than Chauncy

Patterson. Of late years he and his wife have lived more at ease and have traveled somewhat, visiting the Pacific

coast and other sections. Their present residence was recently built and is fitted with many conveniences not

dreamed of when he first settled on the farm. After giving each child a farm, he and wife have ample left to carry

them to the end, which will be mourned by all, it is true, but their memory will live, cherished and beloved, as long

as Cascade township shall endure.

township reside, performed the ceremony. The couple’s children became owner of adjacent property in Section

13.

John and Martha purchased 80 acres in 1854 for $2.50 pr acre and built a log home of the beech and maple

timbers which stood in its dense forests. The couple started farm life with only a single yoke of oxen, but these

were said to be the best in the county. Soon their farm was being hailed as the finest in the township.

John and Martha had four children Charles E. (who became the County Coroner and proprietor of the Patterson

Sanatorium in Grand Rapids) Albert J., M.D. of Grand rapids, Roger B (A farmer and breeder of livestock, and

Alice (who married Austin Pressey. M. D.).

His family consists of four children, viz: Charles E.,M. D., proprietor of the Patterson Sanitarium in Grand Rapids;

Albert J., M. D., of the same city; Robert B., mentioned in full above; Alice, the wife of Dr. Austin Pressey, who

conducts the Fairmount Home, also a retreat for invalids at Cleveland, Ohio. Mr. Patterson is a member of the

Christian church at Cascade, as was also his wife; in politics he has ever been an ardent republican. Misfortune,

however, in its course had not overlooked this amiable couple; but mingling with the comforts and pleasures of a

well spent life had laid a heavy hand upon them. For a year or more Mr. Patterson was afflicted with total

blindness, caused by cataracts, but an operation has partially restored the sight of one eye; he was not, however,

confined to his room or bed through his affliction, and was carefully carried over the worst part of his trouble by his

amiable wife, who was in all respects a remarkably brilliant lady. Late in the fall of I899 Mrs. Martha A. Patterson,

the mother of this family, passed to the unseen world, hers being the first death to break the happiness of the

family circle. A Grand Rapids paper, in noting the passing of this Kent county pioneer, wrote as follows: Mrs.

Martha A. Patterson, of Paris township, the mother of Coroner Patterson, died this morning at her home, at the

age of sixty five years. She was one of the most generally known and most respected residents of that township,

and had resided there fifty-six years. 49 Mrs. Patterson’s maiden name was Martha A. Spaulding. She came to

Kent county from New York in 1844, and ten years later married John Patterson, of Paris township, who survives

her. She leaves four children, all living: Dr. C. E. Patterson and Dr. A. J. Patterson, of this city; Alice Pressey, of

Cleveland, and Robert B. Patterson, of Paris. In fact, Mrs. Patterson’s is the first death in the family, although her

children are all married and have children of their own. Mrs. Patterson leaves also three brothers, of whom Elliot

Spaulding, of this city, is one, and a sister, Mrs. Kilner, who resides in Tennessee.

Washtenaw county, where she was married and was the mother of one child when they came to live in Kent

county, where the last four years of her life were passed at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Cook. The children

born to Mr. and Mrs. Patterson were eight in number, all of whom are still living excepting Frank, who died at the

age of thirty-five years. The survivors are Sarah, of Fremont county, Iowa, and wife of Nelson Henry; Rilla, married

to Edwin Bailey, of Paris, Mich. James of Oklahoma; Maria (Mrs. Cook); Clara, wife of H. H. Henshaw, of Chicago,

Ill.; Hewitt, a mailcarrier, of Grand Rapids, and Bert, a boot and shoe dealer, of the same city stroke and stroke, till

a log house was erected, fields cleared, fences constructed, and another home was made where peace and

contentment have reigned, from whence, in these later years, men have gone forth to take up other duties no less

onerous or less important than those done half a century past. Here Jesse Cook made his home until called from

earth, about 1874, at the age of seventy-six years. His widow survived him eleven years, when she passed away

in her eighty-fourth year. Of their eleven children, ten grew to maturity, but of these four only now are living, viz: S.

R. and J. R., of Cascade township; Abram F., the subject of this review, and Lydia M., a widow, residing in

California. \William Cook, one of the sons, who lived in Cascade township, died about seven years ago, and his

daughter, Lydia, is now a member of his brother’s family. Abram F. Cook assisted his father on the home place

until twenty-threeyearsold and then started in to make a separate set of improvements on the farm, and after his

mother’s death purchased the homestead, which he still owns and were he resides. At the age of twenty-three,

also, Mr. Cook married Miss Maria L. Patterson, a daughter of Jacob and Rose Ann (Carlton) Patterson, and a

niece of Miner Patterson, whose life sketch will be found on another page of this work; Mrs. Cook was born on a

farm where the Paris schoolhouse now stands; she and her husband were school-mates and reared almost

together from childhood. To their happy union have been born three children, viz: Frank J., who is abstracter in the

county register’s office, and resides in Grand Rapids. He had served as deputy register for two years, and for two

years worked in the county treasurer’s office. Byron L., the second child, was for six years in the commission

house of Mosley & Stevens, Grand Rapids, where he attained an admirable record, being held in greatest respect

by all his associates. He died July 26, I898, at the age of thirty-three years. He was a remarkably bright and

industrious young man, whose friends were numbered by the score. Fred A., the third child, is the able assistant of

his father on the home farm. Mr. and Mrs. Cook are members of the Church of Christ at Cascade, of which he is

one of the official board, and in politics is a republican, yet he is not at all demonstrative or aggressive in his

political manifestations. Jacob Patterson, father of Mrs. Cook, died at the age of sixty-two years, and his wife at the

age of seventy-eight. The latter was born in Washtenaw county, where she was married and was the mother of

one child when they came to live in Kent county, where the last four years of her life were passed at the home of

her daughter, Mrs. Cook. The children born to Mr. and Mrs. Patterson were eight in number, all of whom are still

living excepting Frank, who died at the age of thirty-five years. The survivors are Sarah, of Fremont county, Iowa,

SPAULDING, Minor P. - also known as ´.Spalding´. - born January 5, 1843, in Paris, Kent county, Michigan.

By 1860 Miner was working as a farm laborer for and/or living with a wealthy farmer named James

Patterson in Paris, Kent county; just two farms away lived Orleans Spaulding and his family (see Samuel

Spaulding´.s biographical sketch below).

Minor stood 5´.8´. with blue eyes, light hair and a light complexion and was a 19-year-old farmer probably living

in Kent county when he enlisted in Company A, along with Samuel Spaulding (to whom he may have been

related), on March 3, 1862, at Grand Rapids, and was mustered the same day. Minor was reported absent sick in

the hospital in September and was discharged for chronic diarrhea on October 18, 1862, at Fort McHenry,

Maryland.

Minor returned to Michigan where he reentered the service in Company E, Tenth cavalry on September 7,

1863, at Grand Rapids for 3 years, crediting Paris, Kent county, and was mustered on September 12 at Grand

Rapids where the regiment was organized between September 18 and November 18, 1863, when it was

mustered into service. It left Michigan for Lexington, Kentucky on December 1, 1863, and participated in numerous

operations, mostly in Kentucky and Tennessee throughout the winter of 1863-64. Most of its primary area of

operations would eventually be in the vicinity of Strawberry Plains, Tennessee.

In March of 1865 he was at the dismounted camp in Knoxville, Tennessee where he remained through

May, and on furlough in June and July. By September he was reported to be ´.in charge´. of the military prison at

Jackson, Tennessee, was promoted to Quartermaster Sergeant on October 2, 1865, to First Sergeant on

November 2, and mustered out on November 11, 1865, at Memphis, Tennessee.

After the war, Minor returned to Kent county, and was working as a farmer and living in Paris township

when he married Michigan native Loraine H. Cook (1848-1902) on May 12, 1868, at Cascade, and they had at

least three children: Carrie (b. 1869), John (b. 1871) and Helen (b. 1875).

By 1870 he was working as a farmer and living with his wife and daughter Carrie in Cascade, Kent county.

According to one source, due to ill health he moved to Sherman, Texas where he lived for some years and was a

member of the Grand Army of the Republic post in Sherman. By 1880 he was reported as married but working as

a farmer and living with the James Anglin family in Eureka Springs, Carroll county, Arkansas. Curiously, in 1880

Lorraine and their three children were living with her parents in Cascade, Kent county. Minor eventually returned to

Michigan and was living in Caledonia, Kent county in 1886 and 1890.

He was a member of the Old Third Michigan Infantry Association. In 1878 he applied for and received a

pension (no. 162570).

Minor was confined to his bed for nearly a year and a half before he died on May 23, 1892, and was

buried in Lakeside cemetery in Caledonia; see photo G-13.

At the annual reunion of the association held in December of 1892, the following resolution was read and

entered into the records: ´.Whereas - Minor Spaulding, after having served with honor in Co. A in the old Third

Mich Infantry´. and after being discharged by reason of a disability from which he never recovered, yet was so

filled with patriotism, that he could not remain quiet, but re-enlisted in the Tenth Mich Cavalry, and served as long

as his strength should permit, And Whereas - said comrade, after long and almost continuous illness, since the

close of the war, was, by the Great Commander, ordered to the realms above to join the great Grand Army there,

Resolved that we tender to his wife, children, and relatives, our sincere sympathy. That we know their great loss of

husband, father and protector, is irreparable, but feel that they must know their loss is his gain; that his brave

endurance [sic] during life and his noble efforts to provide for his family, must be rewarded in the hereafter; that we

fell ourselves identified with the family and join with them in pride at having been connected with so good a man,

true, noble, and generous, in every particular. That we cordially invite the wife of Minor P. Spaulding to become an

honorary member of our association.´.

She didn’t´.t .

In June of 1892 Loraine was still living in Michigan when she applied for and received a pension (no.

359257).

Notes for Warren A. Patterson:

General Notes: Farmer in Cascade

WARREN A. (ZACH) PATTERSON, of Cascade township, Kent county, Mich., was born June 2, I849, and is a son

of Miner Patterson, whose biography is printed in full elsewhere in this work. Warren A. remained on his father’s

farm until his twenty-fifth year, when he married, February 25, I874, Miss Mary S. June, a native of New York, but

who was brought, at the age of six years, by her parents, George and Martha (Ellison) June, to Paris township,

Kent county, Mich. The June family came to Paris township in 1854 and located on a farm, but soon afterward

removed to and settled on a homestead near the home of the Shafer family, where they resided until they removed

to the city of Grand Rapids, where the father died at the age of seventy-five years, and the mother at the age of

seventy-one. The father was a shoemaker by trade, but on settling on his farm in Kent county, began his first

outdoor work and cleared up the place. His three sons were named William M. James Henry and George N., and

of these the first two reside in Grand Rapids; George N. married Delia M. Patterson, a sister of I"Zach," but died at

the age of twenty-two years. His wife had died three years previously, at the age of twenty-eight, the mother of two

children Hazel M. and Patty. The death of the mother took place at the birth of Patty, who soon followed the

mother to the grave. The only daughter of George and Martha June is Mary S., now the the wife of i"Zach "

Patterson. At his marriage, Mr. Patterson purchased an eighty-acre farm, for which he went partly in debt, and his

father also presented him with a tract of forty acres, making a compact farm of I20 acres, and to this he added fifty

acres. In I89I, he purchased the old John Webster homestead of sixty-two acres, just opposite his own homestead.

He has erected two houses on his premises, carries on general farming, and has also I,ooo peach trees. For four

years, beside, he sold milk in Grand Rapids. He has been very successful in all his undertakings, and is classed

among the substantial agriculturists of Cascade township. In politics Mr. Patterson is a republican, attends the

conventions of his party, and always works hard for the success of the party in its campaigns. Mrs. Patterson is a

member of the Disciples’ church at Cascade. The children born to Mr. and Mrs. Patterson are three in number, and

are named, in order of birth, Byron Q., Miner G. and Milo J. Of these, Byron was a student at the, State

Agricultural college and enjoys farming. Mr. Patterson has also been the guardian of his niece, Hazel May June,

since her eleventh year, and she is now a member of the family, and a double cousin to his own children. Mr.

Patterson is very public spirited as well as generous, and is duly honored as such by all his fellow-citizens.

Attention is once more called to the biography of Miner Patterson, in which many interesting facts are given

relative to the Patterson family as a whole.

ability to solve the practical questions so constantly pressing in this complicated existence. He has little sympathy

in or love for many so-called advantages of the newer education, with its numerous fads and isms, but holds that

the duty of the state is to better fit the youth to better fight life’s every-day battles. His voice is heard in the various

educational. associations in advocacy of a higher civilization, better school facilities, and more thoroughly equipped

teachers, who understand something of human life and the philosophy underlying correct teaching. Mr. Patterson

is also a teacher of vocal music, has a rich, superb voice, and his services are much sought on public occasions,

where vocal music is in demand. Robert 1E. Patterson was born in Paris township, Kent county, Mich., August I 5,

1863, and is a son of John and Martha Ann (Spaulding) Patterson, of whom full mention will be made later on.

February i8, i886, Mr. Patterson married Miss Nettie Wilbur, a daughter of Hiram H. and Mary (Heintzelman)

Wilbur, who was born on Thornapple river, in Cascade town ship, January IO, i864. She likewise was a teacher for

some time prior to her marriage. This union has been blessed with one son, Robert Wilbur, who is now nine years

of age. Mr. Patterson owns two tracts of land, of forty acres each, and also operates forty acres of his father’s

farm. He breeds Percheron horses and Jersey cows, and has made several very satisfactory exhibitions of his

stock at state fairs. As a republican, he has been quite active in the affairs of Cascade, acceptably filling several

township offices. He has frequently been a delegate to republican county, district and state conventions. Widely

read on all matters pertaining to the history of political parties, and public polity, and possessed of a vigorous

command of the language, he is no mean antagonist in the debate of those questions affecting the general

prosperity of the nation. John Patterson, father of Robert B., and a resident of Paris township, was born in Steuben

county, N. Y., April 25, i827, and is a son of Robert and Rachel (DeLong) Patterson, who came with their family to

Michigan in i828, and of whom further details may be read in the biography of Miner Patterson, on another page.

John Patterson remained with his mother and brother Miner until his marriage, at the age of twenty-six, to Martha

Ann Spaulding, daughter of Benjamin and Eliza (Quackenbush) Spaulding, who came to Kent county, Mich., in

i844, and settled in Paris township, on the town line of Cascade, which land is now a part of the farm of J. J.

Patterson. Some years later the parents removed to Cascade township, where the mother passed the remainder of

her days, and later the father returned to the home of his son John, where his death took place at the age of

sixty-two years. March 2, i854, Mr. Patterson settled on his present farm, which comprised eighty
