Mrs. Antoinette Stoddard Patterson,
wife of the late Ed M. Patterson, pioneer landowner of Dallas, died
Sunday at 4:40 a.m. At her home, 2821 Routh street, where she has
lived for twenty-four years. She would have been 69 years old Jan.
30. The funeral service will be held at the home Monday at 10 a.m.
With burial in Oakland Cemetery. Pallbearers will be Joe Barry,
Randolph Paine, Carl Buerbaum, B. E. Julian, R. R. Simpson and Gene
Woods.
Mrs. John woods of Monterrey, Mexico,
Mrs. Patterson's only child, and Miss Johnetta Woods, her only
grandchild, were with her when death occurred, following a long
illness.
Here Since Eighties. Mrs. Patterson
came to Dallas in the eighties to visit Mrs. Barney Gibbs, and met
Edward Martin Patterson, to whom she was married in 1881. They lived
in Dallas continuously thereafter, and both were closely identified
with the development of the city. Mr. Patterson died June 3, 1929.
Mrs. Patterson was active in the Episcopal Church, being a
communicant in the Church of the Incarnation. She taught a Sunday
school class there, and was a member of the choir when the church was
a mission. Her father-in-law, Judge James M. Patterson, was one of
the donors of land for the first Episcopal Church in Dallas which
stood at the corner of Elm and Lamar streets.
Neighbors of Washingtons. Mrs.
Patterson was born on a plantation in Prince William County,
Virginia, Jan. 30, 1862, being the daughter of John Sargent Stoddard
and Annie Eliza Plummer Sargent. She has often described her old
home as adjoining Mount Vernon, and has told how the Stoddards and
the Washingtons “took turns” having the snow cleared away so that
they could attend church. Mrs. Patterson's maternal grandfather, Dr.
Benjamin Plummer, fought in the War of 1812, and a maternal ancestor
Col. Issac Ewell, native of England, served as a Colonel in the
Revolutionary War.
