AN OLD LANDMARK BURNED. The firemen
were called about 13O p. m. last Monday to a
fire at the old Patterson house on Patterson
hill, East Belfast. The house had been unoc-
cupied for two years and recently became the
property of Charles B. Eaton, descendant of
the Patterson family, and he had rented it to
George Benson, who was partly settled and
was burning waste paper in the rear of the
house. The fire caught in the grass and ran
up the side of the building, which was soon
enveloped in flames, and when the firemen ar
rived the fire running through the grass
and they confined their efforts to saving the
buildings of f ben Holmes and Mahlon Curtis
near by. The Patterson house and barn were
burned to the ground, and there was no insur-
ance. AS the house old and out of repair
the loss was uncomfortable compared with
the value placed on the home by association.
The land on which the house was built has
been in possession of the family one hundred
and forty-one years, and the house one hun
dred and twenty zone years. 1t was originally
the home of William Patterson, I'd, and Mary
fast, and was the birthplace of their daughter
Ann, the first white child born in Belfast. She
married Enos West. 1t later became the prop
erty of David Patterson, the father of Mrs
Harriet Adams, aged SO years, now ill at the
home of Mr.. C. B. Eaton, 3 Court street. 1t
was her birthplace and she is too i'll to be told
of its loss.
