ISAAC PATTERSON
is the worthy representative of a worthy family. For
three generations this family have been connected very
prominently with the settlement and growth of Columbiana
county. Mr. Patterson came into this world in
the year 1832. His father, James Patterson, was
a native of Ireland where he was born in 1801. When
but five weeks old his father, Thomas Patterson,
emigrated to America with his family and settled in
Washington county, Penn., where they remained for several
years. About 1818 the family took up their residence
in Wayne township, Columbiana county, Ohio, where he entered
wild land and therefrom cleared a good farm. In 1817
he entered the land in Center township which now comprises
the farm belonging to Mr. Isaac Patterson. In
1823 this land came into the possession of James
Patterson who cleared and improved it. The only
deed that has ever been executed for this property is the
one first made to Thomas Patterson. James
married Mary Fife. Isaac Patterson was born on
this farm and has since resided there. His youth was
passed after the manner of the pioneer's son, attending the
old log school house in the winter and doing the work of a
man on the farm during the summer season. His marriage
to Miss Jannette Gillespie was solemnized in 1820.
She is a daughter of George and JEssie Gillespie,
natives of Scotland, in which country the daughter was also
born. Mr. and Mrs. Patterson's home has been
brightened by the advent of three children: Frank
J., Nettie and Eva. Mr. Patterson is one of
the most successful farmers in the county and owns a large
farm. For several years he was a director of his
school district in which capacity he evinced the same
uprightness and wisdom that have always characterized his
every action. He and wife are earnest members of the
Presbyterian church.

Percival served in all of the battles in which his
regiment was engaged during the war, among them being

JOHN
C. PIKE was born in Elk Run township, Columbiana
County, Ohio, in 1810. His parents were Hugh and
Mary (Crawford) Pike, natives of Ireland, who emigrated
to America and settled in Columbiana county at an early day.
They raised a larfie family of children who became
loyal and honored citizens. John C. Pike, his
son, married Maria Frederick, and became the father
of several children. One of these children, Robert
T. Pike, is the principal of this biographical
mention. Mr. Pike's birth took place in 1843,
in Center township, where he passed his younger days in
attending the old fashioned school house and in doing the
usual work required of a farmer's son. When the call
for recruits for the patriot army came in 1862, he did not
close his ear to his country's voice, but enlisted in
Company K, One Hundred and Fourth regiment Ohio volunteer
infantry, under Capt. William J. Jordan, and served
during the war, never having been absent from his company
during the entire time. He now receives ten dollars
per month for disabilities received while engaged in his
country's defense. Some time after his return from the
army, in 867, Mr. Pike married Miss Mary L.
Springer, by whom he has had the following named
children: Linnie M., Jennie R., Mary L., John T., Oliver
F. and Ralph S. Mrs. Pike is the daughter
of John and Elizabeth (Huffman) Springer, and is a
native of this county. Mr. Pike was a member of
the school board for seven years, three years of which time
he acted as clerk of the board. He is a member of the
G. A. R. post No. 138, of New Lisbon. His start in
life is humble. He made his first efforts unaided and
the success which he has achieved is all the more creditable
to him, for although his father gave him assistance later,
yet it was after the worst was over. Mr. and Mrs.
Pike are members of the Lutheran church, and are among
the most respected and influential members of the community
in which they reside.
