DAVID B. PATTERSON.—He was born in St. Lawrence county, New York, March 26,
1829. He crossed the plains to California in 1852, stopping in Sierra county, on
the North Yuba, where he mined for a while, and then was interested for some
years in a saw-mill. In 1858 he sold out and went east, but was back in less
than a year; and in partnership with L. T. Fox kept stock on the ranch now owned
by Mr. Patterson, and ran the butchering business in Downieville, Goodyear's
bar, Monte Christo, Eureka North, Poker Flat, and St. Louis. In 1862 he sold out
of the meat business, and bought Mr. Fox's interest in the stock-ranch, which he
still operates. December 25, 1860, he was married to Jane Newell of Goodyear's
bar, who died August 6, 1864. He was a second time married to Annie Parker of
Canton, New York, December 25, 1865, by whom he had three children: Jane, born
September 27, 1866; Cora V., February 14, 1869, and Mary, July 20. 1877.    He
is a member of Sierra Valley Lodge No. 184, F. & A. M.
