Marker Text:
(1823-1900) Adolphus Patten was born in North Carolina to Elijah and Nancy Watson Patten. He opened a medical practice in Rome, Georgia, where he married Emeline Eliza Trout in 1846. In 1854, they set out with family members to California via Texas but settled in Quitman instead. Patten worked as a physician, and he was active in civic affairs and as a Mason. During the Civil War, he served as surgeon with the 22nd Texas Regiment. The family moved to Mineola in the 1870s, and Patten continued practicing medicine. Recorded - 2006
