1. Alexander is probably the father or the brother of John G. Patterson. Alexander is in the 1850 and 1860 census on the same page (in Saint Francois Co, Missouri census records) as Eliza Andrews (who John married). Eliza is in both census as a child. Two of Eliza's sibs (Wm & Margaret Pinkston) are also in the 1860 census in the same area as married adults. If Alexander isn't John G Patterson's father, he us surely his uncle. - although the "calculated" dates put alexander's wife (nancy) at 14 when john g. would be born, potentially a negative.

the last entry, Willard B. Raridon is the nephew of Augustus and Louisa which means either Louisa's sister or Augustus's sister married a rariden. There is a marriage entry for Mary Ann Patterson to Theodore Frelingheusen Rariden for 19 Oct 1851 in St. Francois Co, Willard (above) would be born Cal 1859, 8 years after Mary and Theodore's marriage date... therefore I am assuming Mary Ann Patterson is the sister of Louisa Patterson (wife of Augustus).

1880 census with LaTurno lists Nancy as 26 (Cal 1854) which would be perfect for an 1877 marriage, however, it lists the birthplace for her father as Virginia and her mother Kentucky... very different from the 1870 census record for Nancy (as a child) which list them as Missouri and Ohio. So perhaps John G & Eliza Patterson's Nancy (1870 census- age 4, bir 1866) not the one who married LaTurno.

Mr. Patterson was writing a note when they came in, and after finishing same, walked over to the dresser, where he secured a revolver from one of the drawers and walked around to the side of the house. His brother noticing his actions, followed him, but reached him too late as he had already shot himself through the head.
A coroners inquest was held at the Patterson residence following the accident and returned a verdict “Self inflicted gunshot wounds”.

Andrews Patterson was born July 19, 1869, and at the time of his departure was sixty-three years, one month and twenty-six days of age. He leaves to mourn his sad departure his wife, one son and two daughters, residents of St. Louis, and his brother Mack of route one.
The deceased resided in St. Louis before coming to this vicinity to make his home with his brother, but before living in St. Louis, he had at several different times been a Lead Belt resident.
Funeral services were conducted Friday afternoon at three o’clock at Aulsbury Chapel with the Rev. Hambrick officiating.

SALLIE HIGHLEY.Mrs. Sallie Highley, widow of the late James W. Highley, who resided at the Sloan House in Farmington, was found dead in bed by Mrs. Sloan, Tuesday morning, April 22, 1947. She was born in St. Louis on March 26, 1867, a daughter of the late Mary Ann Patterson and Theodore Rariden, and at the time of her death was 80 years 1 month of age.Funeral services were held Thursday afternoon at the Cozean Funeral Home, conducted by her pastor, Rev. W. T. Magill, of the Presbyterian Church. Interment was in the K. of P. Cemetery.Mr. Highley passed away several years ago. During his lifetime they resided on a farm near Desloge. They had no children. Mrs. Highley was a member of the Sarah Barton Murphy Chapter of the D.A.R., the D. A. C. and the Presbyterian Church. She was at all times interested in civic affairs of the community and until her death enjoyed the pleasant association of her friends. She was in her usual good spirits Tuesday [sic Monday?] evening before retiring, and her passing was a shock to her relatives and friends. She is survived by several nieces and nephews, and a wide circle of friends. The Cemetery Book gives her date of death as April 20, 1947. However, I don't think this is right since the newspaper article specifically states that she was found dead on Tuesday morning, April 22nd. According to my perpetual calendar, April 22, 1947 did, in fact, fall on a Tuesday. April 20, 1947, fell on a Sunday. Also, cemetery book has her first name spelled as Sally.
