Dr. John Kinnier Patterson, born in Clontibret, Monaghan County, Ireland, 3 April, 1840, came to America early in the 1850's. He was a graduate of the National Schools of Ireland and Trinity University at Dublin. He came to Virginia to accept a position as Professor of Latin and Greek in the Hill City Classical College of Lynchburg, Va. He married in Virginia (Campbell); his wife died soon after. He served as an officer in the Confederate Army during the Civil War, subsequently moving to Philadelphia where he completed his medical studies graduating from Jefferson Medical College in 1868. John was a member of the County Medical Society, Academy of Medicine of Lynchburg, editor of the journal of the Cooper Literary Institute of Philadelphia. John's obituary lamented his passing as the loss of a reserved, polished, classical gentleman, stating he was physician, surgeon, antiquarian and philosopher. He was a religious man, was the sponsor of his family's Clontibret Presbyterian Church in Nebraska. His father-in-law, Dr. T. Chalmers Fulton, head of the Cooper Literary Institute, spoke at his funeral. Another speaker was his cousin, Joseph Samuel Crawford of Lynchburg, Virginia. John died as a result of a fall on the ice on January 7, 1904, and is buried in Norwood Cemetery, Philadelphia, Pa.
The Patterson clan, with the exception of John Kinnier Patterson, were together again in Boone and Greeley Counties, Nebraska. John was well established in his profession in Philadelphia and was of economic support to his family during the early days.
