Peters, who has a reputation which extends far beyond the limits of his own county. While a student in the medical college he made a remarkable record, and his achievements since graduation have classed him with the best physicians of the state. He is planning soon to take post-graduate work in the best medical schools of Europe, to better fit himself for his calling. Dr. Fletcher E. Peters, the son of John M. and Julia (Smith) Peters, was born in Harrison county, Iowa; April 25, 1881. His father was a native of Ireland, and his mother, the state of New York. His father received his education in the land of his birth and came to this country when a young man. He had only ten dollars in his pocket when he landed in America He first located in Mendota, Illinois, worked as a stone mason in that city. He saved his money and sent it to Ireland, to help his other brothers to America. In 1883, John M. Peters moved to Harrison county, Iowa, and located on a farm of one hundred and sixty acres, and being an excellent farmer and stock raiser, soon became one of the wealthiest men in the county. He now has a well improved farm of five hundred and forty acres in Harrison county. John M. Peters and wife were the parents of five children: Maude, deceased who was the wife of Andrew Anderson; Albert, who married Celia Manion; Grace, the wife of James Marton; Howard, single and Dr. Fletcher E. The elementary education of Doctor Peters was received in the country schools of Harrison county, leaving later for the Woodbine Normal School. Graduating from the Normal School at Woodbine he received a teacher's certificate, but desiring to enter the medical profession, he at once enrolled at the State University at Iowa City, which he attended for two years. The college building then burned and he left for the Creighton Medical College at Omaha, Nebraska, where he finished his medical education. He received the degree of Bachelor of Arts in 1902 and the degree of Doctor of Medicine in 1904. He graduated from the medical college with the honors of his class and served as an assistant in the university hospital during his senior year. Here he improved his knowledge of surgery, and took every possibly advantage offered. Immediately after graduating from medical college, he began the active practice of his profession in Woodbine, Iowa, remaining there one year, when he went to Earling, Iowa, and purchased the practice of Dr. L. G. Powell. He has built up that practice, which extends for thirty-five miles around Earling, and is frequently called from the state for consultation. He has the largest practice of any physician in this part of the county, and has built up an enviable reputation as a surgeon. Doctor Peters spends all of his leisure time in study and research and is fast forging to the front. Doctor Peters was married June 11, 1907, to Anna Kirschbaum, the daughter of Rhiner and Barbara (Schleier) Kirschbaum. The parents of Mrs. Peters were natives of Germany, and coming to this country located in Wisconsin and later came to Shelby county, Iowa. They reared a family of seven children: William, John, Gertrude, Anna, Kate, Mary and Michael. Doctor Peters and his wife are the parents of two children: Xystus and Leroy. Doctor Peters votes for the best men irrespective of their politics. The demands made upon his time and attention by his profession are so great that he does not take an active part in politics: He is interested, however, in everything which aids good government. He and his family are members of the Catholic church. The doctor is a member of the Knights of Columbus, and the medical examiner of the lodge in this county. He is interested in farm land in Harrison county, and has one of the finest farms there. Source: 1915 Past and Present of Shelby County, Iowa
