A resident of Welland for the past 52 years and the widow of one of the city’s most prominent citizens, Anna McNeff Patterson, wife of the late John Joseph Patterson, passing away at her home, 25 Young street, early this morning in her 80th year.
Born in Thorold, the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. James McNeff, Mrs. Patterson was descended from one of the pioneer families of Welland county. She moved with her parents from Thorold to Brighton, where she married the late Mr. Patterson, and shortly after took up residence in Welland.
The late Mr. Patterson, who was for many years a prominent undertaker in the district, was a city alderman for a number of years and also a member of the city water commission when he died in 1930.
Mrs. Patterson was a devout member of St. Mary’s church, and belonged to the church Altar Society and the Catholic Women’s League, in which she took an active interest.
She is survived by five children: Mrs. George O. Darte (Maude) of St. Catharines; John F.; Mrs. Claude R. Korman, (Marguerite); W. Gerald and J. Harold, all of Welland. Two children, Anna and James T., as well as her husband, predeceased her. Two grandchildren, four of whom are in the armed services, also survive.
Funeral services will be held from the late residence, 25 Young street, on Thursday, November 11, at 8:30 a.m. to St. Mary’s church for requiem mass at 9 o’clock. Interment will be in Holy Cross cemetery.
Does anyone know when 9 Young Street, Welland was demolished?
Does anyone have photos of 9 Young Street ? or where I can find photos of old homes in Welland?
