Patterson my second husband, "an
itinerant dentist" 1t says that after
my marriage we "lived fora short time

During the following nine years the
Pattersons led a rowing existence. The
doctor practiced in several towns, from
Tito nto North Groton and Rumney."
When was married to him, DR..
Daniel Patterson was located in Frank
lin, N. Fl. He had the degree OF D. ID.

a rarely skilful dentist. He bought
place in Rumney, which he fancied, for
a summer resort. At that time he
owned house in Franklin. n. H.
Although, as McClure's magazine
claims, the court record may state that
my divorce from Dr.. Patterson was
granted on the ground OF desertion, the

dividuals are here today who were
present in court when the decision
was given by the judge and who know
the following facts. After the evidence
had been submitted that husband was

structed the clerk to record the divorce
in my favor.
What prevented Dr.. Patterson's ar

do it. When this husband recovered
his wife, he kept her prisoner in her

is in my possession, is OF interest in
this connection:
About the year 1874 Dr. Patterson, Il
/ dentist, boarded with ME in Littleton,
New Hampshire. During his stay at
different times | had conversation with
him about his wife, from whom he was
| separated. He spoke OF her being Il
pure and Christian woman, and the
cause of the separation being wholly
on his part, that if he had done as lie
ought he might have had as pleasant
and happy home as one could wish
fol-
AT that time mad no knowledge OF
who his wife was. Later OH learned
that Mary Baker G. Eddy, the discov-
erer and founder of Christian Science,
was the above mentioned woman.
