JOHN PATERICK, farmer and milk dealer, was born in Oneida Co., N.Y., Nov. 16, 1825. In 1845, he came to Walworth Co., Wis., where he resided some five years, then took charge of the Marsh House, between Portage and Grand Rapids. At this time there were but three hotels between Portage and Grand Rapids — the Walworth House, the Marsh House and the McCartney House. In 1857, he went to Marquette County, and then to Stevens Point, and, in 1874, came to Grand Rapids, where he still resides. He was married, Oct. 1, 1859, to Miss Sarah Fryer, of Otsego Co., N.Y.
