Dick, Thank you. I doubt if she was. (Priscilla) Pearl Patterson was from Indiana and it's still a mystery to me how she met her husband, Warren Ross Bean of Streator (1870-1945). As far as I know none of the other Pattersons from our family went to Illinois for anything other than to visit Pearl and her husband. Mr. Bean was once the publisher of the Daily Monitor in Streator. They had two daughters, Mrs. Yolanda Gould (Chicago) and Mrs. Pearl Kinson of Eureka. It would be the descendants of these two girls I'd be looking for and those same descendants would be my second cousins. There may have been a grandson for Pearl and Warren - not sure. There is a Robert Warren Blake buried with them: 8 Nov, 1915 - 28 Mar, 1939. I don't know who this is but he is apparently family some way. If anyone can connect to him and enlighten me, it might help the whole picture. Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give on this, Shirley Muncie, IN ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, February 25, 2003 11:50 PM Subject: Re: [ILLASALLE] Re: Patterson Would Pearl Patterson be related to Martha Patterson, who was married to Michael Corrigan from Ottawa's NE side ? This Martha Patterson had been the widow of Joseph Corrigan (Michael's brother) who was killied in a construction accident South of Ottawa several years earlier.
