Patton ran the town for a while and in 1852 he planted two willow oaks in the park along Tuscaloosa Street that lived over ninety years; and he and Richard B. Baugh had a cotton mill on Shoal Creek about a half a mile up the creek from the bridge on the old Jackson Highway; in 1863 the mill was moved to Tuscaloosa and produced material for the Confederate Army. When burned by accident the Confederate States rebuilt the plant; at the end of the War the Yankees burned it. His homes in Florence: in 1848 he was living on Wood Avenue above the college in a house known as the Mitchell place; the next year he bought ten acres on Cypress Street running west to Circular Road (Locust Street then did not run north of Tuscaloosa Street) and ten years later he bought ten more acres bringing his property to Tuscaloosa Street. He planted the same willow oaks on Cypress and Tuscaloosa Streets. His children grew up in Tuscaloosa."383 "During that period, when the Federal troops invaded that portion of the State, he became a refugee and made his abode at Tuscaloosa where in connection with other gentlemen he controlled the cotton factory in that place. Later he built a factory a few miles from Tuscaloosa called Kennedale. In his history and success he is a striking example of what may be reached by preserving industry. He is liberal and public - spirited in the application of his means. This is to his credit. Kennedy was probably the first lawyer in Alabama to abandon his profession to engage in other work.

The whole block where the post office now stands was college property; the dormitory was a handsome building with columns on all four sides and was taken down to build the post office on the spot, and the class rooms and chapel were in the building now occupied by the Elks.
Her photographs show that she was an unusually beautiful woman; she had charm and graciousness. She was quite talented in music; her first piano was sold and in 1874 another, rosewood, was bought for her in Louisville by her brother Elias; on this one Mother learned to play. In April 1954, eighty years to the month after the piano was sent to the Brookes home, it went to the Gorgas Home on the campus of the University at Tuscaloosa. Her brother John Spinks Kennedy, eighteen years her senior lived in Florence when she attended the college; after he became a widower he used to spend a large part of the summers at the Brookes place; in fact all the relatives seemed to love being there.
