So you can understand some of these textile pieces, I thought I would give you a bit of The Patterson Family Tree.
George Washington Patterson - '49er, from Indiana, established his farm, and then built his house in 1857.
Married Clara Hawley in1877 -
They had 2 sons, Henry,1878 and William, 1880
George passes away, 1895 at 73.
Henry inherited the house.
Clara marries Reverend William Layson, 1900. - Clara starts traveling a lot.
William marries May Bird, 1903 - They have 3 sons, Donald, John, and David
William given money to build his house on farm.
Reverend Layson dies, 1909
Henry marries Sarah Morgan, 1913. -They live in the Patterson House. They have 3 daughters:
Sally, 1913
Marjorie, 1915
Georgia, 1916
Pan-American Exposition in San Francisco, 1915
Clara dies, 1917
Henry dies 1955
William dies 1961
Meanwhile, the 3 daughters are growing up. Georgia dies in a car accident about the age of 8
Donald, David and Marjorie go on to join the Forces in WWII.
I am in the process of learning more about Marjorie and will post about her and other tidbits after we get all the textiles archived and put away. I have to get more archival boxes so I am in a holding pattern right now. But there is a lot that you haven't seen so more will be coming!
