     , one of the progressive farmers of Squaw township, whose fine farm of two hundred acres is on section 23, was born in Peoria county, Illinois, on the 14th of February, 1868, and is a son of Robert B. and Sarah A. (Nipper) Van Patten. The progenitor of the family in America was Claus Frederickse Van Petten, who came to this country from Holland and located in Albany county, New York. From him our subject is of the sixth generation removed. In the third generation were several who participated in the Revolutionary war, there being about one hundred of the name belonging to one regiment. while one company of this regiment was commanded by Captain John Van Patten. Robert B. Van Patten, the father of our subject, was born in Cayuga county, New York, March 17, 1825, his parents being Peter and Lydia (Bullock) Van Patten.
George M. Van Patten was fourteen years of age when the family came to Iowa and he grew to manhood upon the home farm in Clarke County, in the meantime acquiring his education in the public schools. On attaining his majority he started out in life for himself and has since devoted his time and attention to farming. In 1897 he came to Warren County and after renting his present farm for a time he purchased it and has since engaged in its operation, having two hundred acres of well improved land under a high state of cultivation. He carries on stock-raising, making a specialty of Percheron horses, shorthorn cattle and Poland China hogs.
In 1891 Mr. Van Patten married Miss Annie Holden, of Clarke county, a daughter of C. C. and Deborah (Cramer) Holden, who came to this state from Illinois in 1878 and located in Clarke county. Her father, who was a farmer by occupation, is now deceased. Of the six children born to our subject and his wife three died in infancy. Those still living are, Nina L., Ethel L. and Loyd H., all at home.
The parents are active members of the Methodist Episcopal church and Mr. Van Patten is a republican in politics. He has filled various township offices in an able and acceptable manner and is now serving as township clerk. Socially he is identified with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows.

Hannah Van Patten was born was born at Schenectady, N.Y., December 31, 1823 and died at the home of her son, Myron Hoxie, at Battle Creek, Mich., February 14, 1908 at the age of 84 years, 2 months and 14 days.
She was united in marriage to Orton Hoxie at Wheatland, Hillsdale Co., Mich. in the year 1843 and during this year they moved to Algansee township in Branch county.
It was her lot to know the real meaning of the joys and hardships of pioneer days for in 1849 her husband went to California in search of gold and the work of looking after the farm and the care of the children was left to Mrs. Hoxie and her mother. Mr. Hoxie was successful in his search for gold and on his return they bought the farm, since known as the Orton Hoxie place, where she and Mr. Hoxie lived until his death May 30, 1895. She was united in marriage to Dana Perrine of East Gilead in 1896. His death occured two years ago and since that time she has made her home with her son Myron at Battle Creek.
She was the mother of nine children four of whom are still living: Charles, of Spencer, Iowa; George, of Lakeside, Washington; Frederick of Algansee and Myron of Battle Creek. She is also survived by sixteen grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
She was a member of the Regular Baptist church and her life was spent in the service of the Master. She was a loving mother and a kind neighbor and will be greatly missed by all who were privileged to know her.
