The Pattern Story
An extract from Mark Pattern’s research into the family tree…
William and Charity Pattern had eleven children, but two died in infancy. One of his sons, William, with his wife Ethel and two children, Eric and Eva, emigrated to Canada. They sailed on a ship call the “Mongolia” in 1912 and Eva remembered how she saw debris floating on the sea and being told it was “stuff” from the Titanic that had just sunk! This William Pattern became the owner of a log mill and camp having fathered four more children resulting in several Pattern families still in the Winnipeg area of Canada. Their daughter, Eva, married Gordon Johnston and they raised nine children and they too had a mill and the place where they lived was named Johnston’s Mill Lake in Saskatchewan.
