In passing through Greenfield Twp. Last week we called on Mr. Joseph Patterson who will Nov. 10, 1891, be 80 years of age. He and his boys came to Warren Co. in 1853 with but little save a determination to work. They are now in good circumstances and have made all on the farm. Mr. Patterson says he is one of the pauper farmers of which Boles talks about. He is a most thoroughbred republican through and through.
