9. William "Charles" Patterson. Son of William George Patterson & Margaret Isabella Embleton. Born 1 Dec 1873 in Harvey. Died 10 Apr 1940 in Elko, Nevada. Elko, Nevada was founded as a railroad-promoted townsite for the White Pine mines in 1869. It subsequently served as the supply center for an enormous cattle empire. Sixty years ago, about the time that Charles was there, Lowell Thomas called Elko "the last real cowtown in the American West". It was also a gambling center and the Commercial Hotel in Elko was famous for the top acts that it attracted.
