Hi Aziza,

I grew up and now live in the Chattanooga area and I know very little about the Patton home on Missionary Ridge, but I visited Mrs. Patton there once with my grandmother when Mrs. Patton was still alive. I was maybe 9 or 10 years old (over 20 years ago), but the visit is still quite vivid as it was one of the most inspiring moments of my life. I remember she had a case full of ivory figurines which were gifts she received throughout her world travels. It broke my heart when I found out the home was sold.
Mrs. Patton taught music to my uncles when they were younger. If you are still looking for stories about your grandmother, please reply to this message and I’ll get you in touch with my grandmother.

Cheers,
Lonita
