Duckworth, a native of Warren County, and the only daughter of Robert Duckworth, with whom Mr. Patterson was some time engaged in the grocery business in Lebanon.  Since 1872, he has devoted his whole attention to photographing, in which art he has met with the best success.  He is an enthusiast in his business, uses all new appliances that appear and takes great pains to keep himself thoroughly posted in all the details of that ever-improving art.  He has an art gallery situated on East Silver street, which he has fitted up with a true artist's taste, and where he exhibits the work he does by the various modern methods of taking, enlarging and finishing pictures.
