Regarding Samuel N. Patterson House.

Samuel N. Patterson, the owner and builder, was born in Washington, D.C. in 1818. The family migrated west to Winchester, Ohio when Samuel was four. As a young man he became a carpenter in Cincinnati, was converted to the Quaker faith, moved to Chillicothe, and then to Xenia in 1846. The next year Ellen Newcom, daughter of a pioneer Xenia family, became his wife. They made a home together for nearly sixty years. In Xenia, Sam Patterson became partners with Tobias Drees in a planing mill. He modestly advertised himself as a carpenter but was reputed to be an excellent designer and carver. Mr. Patterson died instantly at age 88 of a heart attack while visiting Dayton on a business trip. He was the oldest working citizen of Xenia in 1907.
