BIOGRAPHICAL:
Mrs. Patton Child of Second City Marriage.
Information in the Capital Journal yesterday in regard to the earliest marriages in the county has brought out that Mrs. Alice Patton, 444 North Winter Street, is a surviving child of the second marriage ever performed in the county, that of John Downing and Temperance Hunt, which took place April 12, 1849. But one son survives from the marriage. H. J. Downing of Wendling. Mrs. Patton was the only daughter. Other sons, all of whom became prominent in the valley in one way or another, included Ed Downing, an attorney here for many years and one time practicing with George H. Burnett, now chief justice of the Supreme Court. Albert Downing, well-known citizen of the county all his life. Marion Downing, who died recently at Lebanon, and who was the largest strawberry grower on the Pacific Coast. Harry Downing, who died a year and a half ago, was another son.
John Downing, the father, took up a donation land claim adjoining that of G. W. Hunt in the Waldo Hills. G. W. Hunt was the father of J. T. Hunt, present county judge and his claim, as far as is known, is the only one in the county left intact, the way it was taken up.
John Downing came across the plains in 1847, and so did Temperance Hunt. Downing accompanied Len and George Eoff, well known pioneers, and they settled on the edge of Howell Prairie, John Downing going into the Waldo Hills after his marriage. The couple were married on the old Warner place, 12 miles east of town, now owned by the Cowrse brothers. (Source - uncited, from Patton Scrapbooks of Howard Mader and Laurel Doerfler)
