Peterson died in the county hospital in Webster City Saturday night following an illness of a good many months. He was 73 years, 10 months, 7 days old. Elick Peterson was the son of Alexander and Anna Louise Peterson and was born in Sweden July 29, 1862. He came to this country with his father, brothers and sisters in 1869 and for a few months lived in New York state and then the family came to this part of Iowa the following year. Here he worked for a number of years and then went west and for a good many years resided in Washington state and also in states in the middle west. In 1893 he left the west and after visiting the World's Fair in Chicago came to Stratford where he engaged in watch repairing and jewelry business and enjoyed a very successful and lucrative business for many years. He was an expert in his work and watches were sent to him from all over this part of Iowa for his expert attention. Two sisters survive him: Mrs. Elick Swedlund and Mrs. Mary Carlson. His father and mother, three brothers, Gust, Victor and Frank E. have preceded him in death, the latter just a few months ago. He was first taken sick about three years ago and has since not been in good health. The last few months he had failed rapidly and although he sought medical aid it was of no avail. He had made a great many friends during his 43 years as one of the active businessmen here and will be missed by a great many business associates. Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon, a short prayer service being held in the Elick Swedlund home at 1:30 and a service in the Baptist church at 2:00 o'clock. Both were in charge of the Rev. A.E. Appelquist. At the church service, Miss Goldie Karr of Boone and Mrs. A.E. Appelquist sang two duets and the Rev. Mr. Appelquist sang a solo. Following the services the remains were interred in the South Marion Cemetery. The pallbearers were Elmer, C.L., W.F., and Charley E. Carlson, Budd Patterson and V.A. Holstrum, and all were nephews of deceased. Card of Thanks We wish to extend our heartfelt thanks to all those who so kindly assisted us during the illness and death of our brother, E.C. Peterson; also for the floral offering from local businessmen. Mr. and Mrs. Elick Swedlund, Mrs. Mary Carlson.
