Lorenz Petersen was May 14, 1853, in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany and came to America in 1871 to Davenport, Iowa. Here he remained for one year, then came to Crawford County where he has since made his home. On October 15, 1880, he was united in marriage to Wilhelmina Suckstorf in Denison. They engaged in farming on the land where the town Schleswig now stands.
