From: Biographical and Historical Memoirs of Eastern Arkansas Chicago: Goodspeed Publishers, 1890.

Hattie L., now the wife of Eugene Parrish, of Paragould, Ark., was on the point of graduating from Notre Dame, when the breaking out of diphtheria caused her sudden return home, and prevented her receiving a diploma. She is now a student of art in Memphis, Tenn. Her paintings and her music show the touch of an artist. She paints from nature with absolute perfection, and her portrait gems, which have been examined by many, are pronounced worthy of an artist of national reputation. She is an excellent English scholar, and proficient in Latin, French and German. She was married November 2, 1889. Hattie is the only child of Dr. Philip Van Patten and his wife, of Forrest City.
