She is also survived by one sister, Mrs. Sarah Blackburn of Lexington; and two half sisters, Mrs. C.L. Parker of Tioga and Mrs. Lina Calhoun of Lexington; twenty-one grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. In the passing of Mrs. Patterson one of the best known and best loved pioneer women of this section is numbered among the scores of noble characters of the early days who have answered the final summons.
