Eleanor Harriet Patton Hassler was my father's mother's mother. My great grandmother. Some people are luckey to know or at least meet their great grandparents. Unfortunately I never met her. This is the portrait I given by my Aunt Doris (mentioned in my previous blog).
Eleanor was born June 26, 1865. Died Aug 24, 1920. She was the youngest child of Elias Patton and Eleanor Carson Patton. She has 6 siblings, Rebecca M., George C., Margret A., Mary Jane, James and Susan Ann. All her siblings were born before the Civil War. Eleanor was born after the Civil War.
Eleanor married William Stinger Hassler on March 21, 1900. They had 2 daughters, Dorathy and Matilda. Dorathy never married died April 20, 1933. Matilda is my grandmother.
I don't know very much about Eleanor. What I do know is she was born, lived, married and died in Fort Louden, Pa. She lived with her parents in the Patton house that still is standing on the land where historical Fort Louden is located. The house has pictures of her family. This is her picture as a child. I was with my dad visiting the house one day and was so surprised and wonderfully please to discover these picture. I will write more about this house and family later.
