The latter spent his youth in his native city and received his education in Girard College. He learned the trade of fancy wood turning, serving an apprenticeship of six years at the business. He responded to the call of his country for volunteers and enlisted in the Twenty-eighth regiment, Pennsylvania volunteers, which was commanded by the
late governor of Pennsylvania, John W. Geary, and was assigned to company D. After serving three months in this regiment he was transferred to Independent Battery B, Capt. Joseph M. Knapp, Pennsylvania artil- lery, and served in this battery until October 29, 1863, when he was seriously wounded at the battle of Wauhatchie Valley. He was taken to the hospital and, on May 18, 1864, he was discharged from the service on ac- count of disability, and returned to Phila- delphia.

PATTERSON, JOHN D., mayor of Harris- burg, was born at Williamsburg, Blair county, Pa., November 1, 1842. His parents were of that sturdy stock, Scotch-Irish, the representatives of which are so numerous and prominent in the leadership of Ameri- can society. The education and training of children are regarded by this worthy class of citizens as ships of priority and promi- nence in promoting the public intelligence and virtne. The parents of Mayor Patter- son gave their son the advantages which the public schools afford, and supplemented these by a course of study at the academy. At the same time they were careful that some systematic and continuous industrial occupation should fill up the vacations and intervals between school terms. The result was a studious and industrious youth, with some knowledge and training and a desire for more. His first employment on his own account was farm work, in the summer months, and teaching school in the winter months. Busied at these occupations, he constantly grew and strengthened in body and mind. The war came on and opened to him a new field of action. He enlisted in the army in Angust, 1862, and thus be- came a soldier before he became a voter. Before he had been a month in the service, on September 17, 1862, he was baptized in
320
BIOGRAPHICAL ENCYCLOPEDIA
the blood of battle, on the battlefield of An- tietam, where he received serious injury. For meritorious action, and conduct which displayed the taeties and heroism of the true soldier, he was promoted on the field, and made orderly to General Kane, and also to General Knipe. At the end of his term of service here-enlisted and served to the end of the war. Upon his final discharge from the army, July 1, 1865, he came immediately to Harrisburg, and entered the service of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. He remained with that company until Deeem- ber 1, 1874, when he resigned his position for the very best of reasons, namely : His elevation to the highest office within the gift of his fellow-citizens of Harrisburg, the mayoralty of the city. The . acknowledg- ment by the publie of the success of his ad- ministration as the chief executive of the city was his re-election to the office in 1876, and the repetition of this endorsement by his elcetion to a third term of the office, in 1878. In these elections Mr. Patterson was the candidate of the Republican party.
In 1881 he was elected resident clerk of the House of Representatives. The compliment in this election was the greater because the majority in the House was Democratie, and his successor in this office was a member of that party, showing that he was chosen on the grounds of personal worth and ability, and not on party preference. He was elected sergeant-at-arms of the House of Representatives in 1885, 1887 and 1889. In December, 1889, he was appointed anditing elerk of the commissioners of the Soldiers' Orphans' Schools. This position he was called to give up because of the rare honor conferred upon him of election in February, 1896, to a fourth term of the office of mayor.
For many years Mr. Patterson has been a member of Post No. 58, G. A. R. He is also a member of the Improved Order of Red Men. The family are members of the Zion Lutheran church, on Fourth street, Harris- burg. Mr. Patterson was married in 1866, to Clara Morris, daughter of Israel Morris, of Reading, Pa.

EBY, HON. MAURICE C., ex-mayor of Har- risburg, was born upon the banks of the picturesque and beautiful Susquehanna river, in Middletown, Dauphin county, Pa., in May, 1846. His parents, Jacob Rupley Eby and Elizabeth Gross Eby, introduced their first-born into the city of his adoption, Harrisburg, Pa., in 1847. His career is now only to date from the age of maturity, hay- ing passed through the trials, temptations and vicissitudes of youth the same as any other city individual in this memorial epoch. Lafayette College claims him as one of its alumni. The first to enter that institution as a pupil of the scientific course, he parted from the college to take a tour of three years upon the continent. The greater part of the time was spent at Geneva, Switzerland, and Carlsruhe, Baden, acquiring the language, with plenty of leisure to visit the principle countries and cities of the Old World. His knowledge gleaned from roving and strict attention to objects and places of interest, and associations with the people, have furnished him with a storehouse of personal reminiscences, places and old landmarks of invaluable profit and immense benefit, as well as a gem to his methods of intercourse and business career, enabling him to make a comparison between his own beloved country and that of foreign dynasties. A bachelor with fixed and determined routine of daily life, merchant by profession, dating from the year 1871, of a domestic and club disposition, an admirer and patron of manly sports, upon water and land-in fact to such a degree that the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, together with the the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, appointed him their agent in this district, and many are the complimentary notices accorded him for his valuable inter- ference and rescue of the injured and dis- tressed. He holds the honor gratuitously, and prizes it more than the gift of the ancient star and garter conferred by kings and princesses. Mr. Eby is a charter member of the City Board of Trade, likewise the Penn- sylvania German Society, and an active member of Dauphin County Historical Society. In 1893 he permitted his name to go before the public as a candidate for the position of chief magistrate of the city, and the result of the count proclaimed him mayor, which office he held for a period of three years, and we quote from his closing address to the councils: "My purpose in the
