Author: Charles Blanchard, Editor (1883)

   C. F. PATTERSON, a teacher by profession, is a native of Tipton County, Ind.,
where he was born June 6, 1862. He is the son of Benjamin F. and Lydia (Plummer)
Patterson. His father, one of the prominent men of Tipton County, was born in
Fayette County, Ind., September 6, 1838, and grew to manhood in Fayette and
Shelby Counties. He removed to Tipton County and engaged in farming and dealing
in stock in Wild Cat Township. Here he was married, September 5, 1861, to Miss
Lydia Plummer, of which marriage our subject was the only issue. In 1861, he
removed to Carthage, Mo., where he purchased a farm and remained for two years,
at the end of which he returned to his former farm in Tipton County and remained
there until his death, which occurred October 23, 1880. Politically, he was an
active member of the Democratic party, and also a prominent member of the
Masonic fraternity.

The youth of our subject, Charles F., has been chiefly passed in his native
county, on his father's farm, and various schools of the county, in which he has
labored as an instructor of the young. At the age of twelve, he entered
Spiceland Academy, in Henry County, Ind., at which institution he completed the
academic course of study. He afterward entered the Central Normal College, at
Ladoga, Ind., where he remained for three years, completing the teachers' and
the scientific course. After receiving his diploma at Ladoga, he returned to
Tipton, where he entered upon the profession of teaching, in which he has been
very successful. Among the schools in which he has taught are the district
schools of Wild Cat Township, the Sharpsville Graded Schools, of which he was
Principal, and the Grammar Department of the Tipton Public Schools. He resides
on North West street, Tipton, with his mother, in a very nice residence, of
which he is the owner.
