Joseph H. Pattison, a retired citizen of Morris, Illinois, dates his birth in 
Clermont county, Ohio, August 22, 1840, and is a son of William and Martha 
(Halsted) Pattison, both natives of Ohio. In 1842 the Pattison .family came to 
Illinois and settled in Wauponsee township, Grundy county, where, on a farm, 
the parents spent the rest of their lives and died, the mother dying in 1850, 
at the age of thirty-seven years; the father, in 1882, at the age of seventy-
seven.

Joseph H. was only two years old when he was brought to Grundy county, and 
here he has ever since lived, with the exception of one year, 1863, he spent 
in California. He was engaged in farming in Wauponsee township until 1891, 
when he moved to Morris, and here for seven years he was interested in the 
lumber business. Since disposing of his lumber business he has been retired.

Mr. Pattison has at different times been honored with official position and 
has rendered his township and county valued service. He has filled the offices 
of township collector and supervisor, serving in the latter about ten years; 
and from 1877, for a period of nine years, he was the treasurer of Grundy 
county. Fraternally he is a Master Mason.

Mr. Pattison has been twice married. In 1867 he wedded Jennie Struble, whose 
life was happily blended with his until her death in 1885. His present wife, 
whose maiden name was Allie Hall, he married in 1887.
