state, was born at Colum bus. Ohio
about the close of the great civil
strife and grew up on the farm
His schooling was meager, az the
facilities afforded, were nothing but
a log school house, and primitive
equipment gave advantage for the
instruction of the youth of q pho.
neer country. After leaving school
young Patterson spent a year AT
Franklin, Ohio, as farm hand, but
growing restless he migrated to
Fowler county, Indiana, and then
TO Southern Illinois, where he was
always employed on a farm.
In 1884 he began career which
took up II years of his life az rail-

rraiume en-, and his extended knowl-
edge of railroading together with
the large acquaintance he has with
the men of the operating depart
ment is of no little help in moving
his large train through the country
during the show season.

at entertaining was with q merry
go.round to which was little later

iitiou Lies the secret of his great
success. Each year he has added
