Biografie
Arthur's father, James Ott Patterson, was born in Hannibal, Missouri in 1885, and moved to Everett, Washington in 1900. In 1909 he married Ruby Witherly and in 1914 he walked over the Edson Trail to file on a homestead in the Glen Leslie area. In 1915 James, Ruby and young son Arthur moved to their homestead. Although he had only a grade 4 education, James was a skilled carpenter and blacksmith. The family moved back to Washington in 1919, returning in 1923 with two additional children, Earl (1918), and Neil (1920). Arthur worked with his father, farming in summer, and trapping and logging in winter. In 1937 Arthur married Eva Lemky and moved to Everett, Washington, working in the fuel business until 1942 when they returned to set up their own farming business. They had four children: Greg (deceased), Everett, Roger, and Diane. Arthur was engaged in many occupations besides farming including truck driver, school bus operator, oil field worker, crop insurance adjuster, carpenter, bookkeeper, saw mill operator and in later years, a writer. In 1984 he married Ruth (Hughson) Thorpe. He died on August 3, 2002.
