  MRS. E. A. PATTON, Palestine. This lady, who is respected by every one who
enjoys her acquaintance, was born December 6, 1817, in Palestine. She is the
daughter of William Wilson, one of the old pioneers, and first Postmaster in
Palestine. He was born April 4, 1790, and died February 12, 1850; he was a
magistrate for some years, and also served in the Legislature. He was joined in
matrimony, January 15, 1817, in Harrison, Ohio, to Miss E. Kitchell, born
November 19, 1799, in New Jersey. She died February 6, 1859, in Palestine; she
was the mother of fifteen children, of whom our subject is the oldest. Mrs.
Patton went to school in Palestine, where she was married, December 31, 1835, to
Dr. E. L. Patton, born November 31, 1809, in Tennessee. He was educated in
Washington College, Tenn.; followed his profession in Palestine till his death,
December 30, 1862; filled several county offices, and is the father of twelve
children, of whom W. B. Patton is the oldest. He was born October 14, 1836; was
educated in Palestine, Hanover and Chicago; at the latter place he graduated in
the Medical Department; is now a physician in Charleston, Ill. The second son,
Cullen M., is a merchant in Robinson. The third son, Allen M., was killed in the
battle of Murfreesboro, Tenn., on the same day that his father died in
Palestine. The youngest daughter, Hannah May, is teaching in Charleston, Ill.
The oldest daughter, Nancie A., has a millinery store in Olney. The other
children-Martha, Mary, Emily J., John and Carroll, who is married-are living in
or near Palestine. Mrs. E. A. Patton is a zealous worker in the Presbyterian
