NOAH H. PATRICK, farmer and stock-dealer, was born in Putnam County,
Ind., October 25, 1835, and is the sixth child in a family of eleven chlidren born
to Gabriel and Keziah (Williams) Patrick, a sketch of whom will be found in this
volume. Our subject received only a very limited education, but by his own
exertions, since he became a man, has acquired a fair buisness education. He
was employed on his father's farm until he was twenty years old, after which
he farmed a part of the home place on shares for some seven years. In Sept-
ember, 1862, he enlisted in Company B, Fifty-ninth Indiana Volunteer Infantry,
and served with that regiment until the close of the war, being mustered out
at Washington, D. C., in June, 1865. He participted with his regiment in the
battles of Corinth, Missionary Ridge, Resaca, the Atlanta campaign and Sher-
man's march to the sea, and many other lesser engagements. After his return
from the army, he was employed in agricultural pursuits and the stock trade
in Morgan County for several years. He was then employed as a salesman
in a general store at Eminence for some two years, after which he returned to
his farm in Adams Township, same county, remaining until the spring of 1884,
when he sold the farm and came to Eminence, where he now lives. He has
been for the past five or six years Assessor of Adams Township. He was
married, December 6, 1855, to Pheba A. Allee, a native of what is now
Mill Creek Township, Putnam Co., Ind. Three children, two sons and one
daughter, were the fruit of this union. Mr. Patrick and wife are members
of the Baptist Church. He is also a member of the Eminence Lodge, No.
440, A., F. & A. M., in which lodge he has filled every station and is a
Past Master. He is also a member of Gosport Charpter, R. A. M. In
