"After the death of Mr. Patterson, and the eldest daughter, Kate, both within a week, a crushing blow to the wife and mother, the farm seemed to become too heavy a load for Mrs. Patterson. The children had most of them married, and it seemed time for her to retire from the heavy duties of her long and active life. Her sons bought a home on West Third Street, and there she passed the remainder of her days until her death in 1898".
