Transcription

Early life

Patterson was born in Springfield, Missouri on September 15, 1876.[1] He attended public and private schools, Drury College, (Springfield) and the University of Missouri in Columbia.[1] He graduated from Washington University School of Law in St. Louis in 1897, was admitted to the bar later that year, and commenced practice in Springfield.[1]

Start of career

From 1903 to 1907, Patterson served as prosecuting attorney of Greene County.[1] In 1912, Patterson was appointed to the Missouri Republican State Committee, and he served until 1920.[1]

Patterson was elected to the United States House of Representatives in 1920 and served in the 67th Congress, March 4, 1921 to March 3, 1923.[1] He was an unsuccessful candidate for reelection in 1922 and resumed the practice of law in Springfield.[1] He was a presidential elector in 1924.[2]

From 1925 to 1929, Patterson resided in Kansas City, Missouri and was United States district attorney for the western district of Missouri.[1] He resigned in February 1929 in preparation to assume the seat in the United States Senate to which he was elected in November 1928.[1]

U.S. Senate

Patterson won the general election in November 1928.[1] He took his Senate seat the following year and served one term, March 4, 1929, to January 3, 1935.[1] While in the Senate, he was chairman of the Committee on Mines and Mining (72nd Congress).[3] His chief legislative accomplishment was sponsorship of the Lindbergh Law, which enabled federal authorities to investigate kidnappings if the victims were transported across state lines.[1]

Patterson served during the Great Depression, which was largely blamed on Republican economic policies.[1] He consistently opposed the New Deal remedies of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, which made him unpopular in Missouri.[1] As a result, Patterson was an unsuccessful candidate for reelection in the 1934 election, losing the general election to the Democratic nominee, Harry S. Truman.[1]

Later career

After leaving the Senate, Patterson resumed the practice of law in Springfield.[4] For several years, Patterson was a member of the Missouri Appellate Judicial Commission.[5]

Death and burial

Patterson suffered a stroke in July 1954.[4] His health deteriorated and he died in Springfield on October 22, 1954.[4] He was buried at Maple Park Cemetery in Springfield.[6]

Family

Patterson was married to Ada Holman of Springfield (1877–1957).[7] They were the parents of two children, Paul (1902–1924)[8] and Hadley (1908–1958).[9]
