ALBERT H. PATTERSON is the editor of the Almont Herald, which is published in
that city and is the agricultural organ of the surrounding country as well as
the medium of the current news of the day of the town proper and is also the
advertising medium for commercial matters. He was born in Welland County,
Ontario, June 22, 1840. His parents were formerly residents of Niagara County,
N. Y. As a lad he had the advantages to be derived at good district schools but
was* early obliged to begin the battle of life for himself and entered a store,
which he left at the age of fourteen in order to learn the printing business in
the office of the Niagara (Ontario) Chronicle. After a three years'
apprenticeship he went to St. Catharine's, Ontario, in 1857 where he remained
until 1865.

  In the meantime, June 3, 1862, Mr. Patterson was married to Sarah J. Darby and
soon after moved to Welland, Ontario, where they remained j until the fall of
1868, when they went to Mendota, Ill. They, however, returned to Welland in the
summer of 1870 and in the fall of the same year our subject went to Springfield,
Ill., where he was engaged in the State printing office for four years. In the
fall of 1874 he came to Almont and in January of 1875 established the Almont
Herald which he still continues to publish. This journal is so thoroughly well
known in the community and vicinity of Almont that it is needless to speak of it
in laudatory terms. It is a free, straightforward and pure-minded journal that
one need not hesitate to bring into the family.

  In addition to Mr. Patterson's editorial work, he has been Township Clerk and
is a member of the Village Council. At the present time he is Village Clerk and
a member of the School Board. He has five living children. He has also lost five
children, there having been four sons and one daughter.
