A. H. PATTERSON, Dealer in harness, saddles and saddlery hardware, was born in Seneca County, New York, October 28, 1848, and is of Scottish-English origin- He was reared at his birthplace, spending his boyhood days on a farm and attending the neighborhood schools, completing his education at the Union Schools of Newark, Wayne County, New York, under Prof. Steel, the celebrated chemist. In 1862 he enlisted in Company G, Fiftieth New York Engineering Corps, when only thirteen years of age, as a drummer boy, and served until the close of the war. He was at the following battles : Gettysburg, Fredericksburg, second evacuation of Harper's Ferry, Petersburg, Battle of the Wilderness, and all the important engagements in which the Army of the Potomac were engaged. His drum corps took part in the grand review at Washington, in which they took the first premium, and were called back to be reviewed the second time. Mr. P. held the position of first drummer next to the drum-major. In 1866 he commenced to learn the harness-maker's trade, at Geneva, New York, under Charles H. Mead. At the expiration of the first year he was made foreman of the shops, and in 1869 he purchased the shops and carried on a large business until August 7, 1875, when he sold out and moved west. He remained a season at Albia, Monroe County, Iowa, engaged in mercantile pursuits, after which he took a trip through Nebraska, then coming to Nodaway County, Missouri. He settled at Pickering, where he started a harness shop, and has since carried on a thriving business, though having had to commence with a limited amount of capital. He has a neat and handily arranged shop, and being an excellent workman, finds plenty of employment. Mr. P. is a member of the I. O. O. F. Lodge, No. 347, of Pickering, in which he holds the office* of right scene supporter. He has been a member of the G. A. R. since 1866.
