FamilyInPhotography: husband Robert Patterson
OriginalNotes: ancestry.com posted by Sandy McBeth, mcbeth@sigecom.net March 2003
As an addition to the above information I ran across a newspaper account which read as follows:
Wedded at Louisville. Harry W. Carpenter and Mrs. Gertrude Patterson went to Louisville, Ky., last week where they were joined in marriage on Friday. Mr. Carpenter is a practicing attorney and served as prosecuting attorney for this district. The bride has been engaged in photography in this city for a number of years. (Pike County Democrat, May 28, 1914, page 1)
Just goes to prove that even a bibliography written by a family member can have mistakes and/or leave out information which may be important to another researcher. There was no mention of this marriage in her family history written in Histories and Families, Pike county, Indiana 1817-1987.

According to the family history she never had any children, but did have several nieces and nephews. Her first husband, Robert Patterson died after ten years of marriage and she remarried later to Bertis Warren. The location of her studio was for several years in what was known as "The Carpenter Building."
I found one of the great-nephews listed in the family history living in Petersburg according to the phone book. If you want that information I will e-mail it to you as I would not post someone's name and number on the Internet.

Around 1902 Patterson Studio opened in Petersburg with a young couple, Robert D. and Gertrude (Mitchell) Patterson as photographers and owners. After Robert died Gertrude continued the business. She worked as a photographer and artist for over sixty years. A good example of her work can be seen at Barrett Memorial Library where a portrait she did of Edith Barrett is on display. Another beautiful picture done by her of Emaline Thornton hangs in the Pike county Museum. Patterson was the photographer who did most of the Senior pictures for the High Schools in Pike County.

I grew up with two of Gertrude's nephews, Fred and General Robert Mitchell, who, at last I knew, headed the Indiana National Guard. "Tub" as Fred has always been known, still lives in Petersburg. I don't know if he would be interested, but he might have an idea as to the identity of the picture's subject. (She also took my senior pictures and I used to live a block from her studio on 9th Street). Leanne Dossett Cook
