He came to the United States at the age of twenty-one years settling at Muskegon, Michigan, where he was married to Mary Lou Oleson, April 2, 1880. To this union was born one son who died in infancy, being buried with the mother who died February 10, 1881. He was again married on November 17, 1882, to Karen Sorensen who preceded him to the heavenly home, departing his life March 3, 1900. Mr. Peterson moved from Muskegan, Mich., to Filley, Nebr., in the spring of 1884, where he worked at the carpenter's trade until the spring of 1891, when he moved to Nuckolls county, settling on a farm four miles west of Nelson. He has lived in Nuckolls county continuously since that time. For the past eleven years he has lived in Nelson with his only child, Peter A. Peterson, who together with his wife and the three grand children deeply mourn his departure. Besides the son's family he leaves one sister, Mrs. J.P. Jensen of Edmore, Mich., and two brothers, Peter of New York, and Carl F. of Sidney, Mich.; also numerous nieces, nephews and other relatives, besides the host of friends. He was confirmed in the Danish Lutheran church as a young man. He reconsecrated his life to God soon after settling in Nuckolls county, when he joined the Evangelical church at Red Line school house remaining an active member until that congregation was disbanded. He was later united with the Presbyterian church of Nelson and remained a faithful worker and believer until the end. He was also a member of Nelson Lodge No. 77, I.O.O.F. He was a most loving and devoted father and a true friend, being most unselfish and always eager to be of service to others in need. The funeral service was conducted by his Pastor at the Presbyterian church Monday afternoon at three o'clock. The members of the Odd Fellows lodge attended in a body, and they conducted the ritualistic ceremony at the grave. The Nelson Gazette, Thursday, March 16, 1922; pg. 1
