Patteson Overcame Loss to Seek West Virginia Office
The tale centers on Okey L. Patteson who after a 1932 hunting accident that cost him both legs pursued a political career in West Virginia. He ran for governor, refused sympathy, and billed himself as a hardworking survivor who continues to operate a real estate and automobile business while advocating for others with disabilities. Patteson, a former Mount Hope official and long time public servant, emphasized self-reliance and steady effort despite his impairments.
