She was educated in the schools there and grew to young womanhood in that community. She was united in marriage Sept. 4, 1890 to the Rev. John W. Petesen. For several years they live on an Indian reservation in South Dakota where Mr. Petersen served as a missionary. They later moved to Minnesota where he was a pastor in several communities. In 1906, they returned to Iowa where he served as a Methodist pastor in the Northwest Iowa conference. In 1932, the Petersens retired and moved to Britt where they resided for 10 years. Following the death of her husband, Mrs. Petersen came to Webster City to make her home with her daughter, Mrs. Miller. She is survived by one son and three daughters; the Rev. John Peterson of Cedar Falls, Mrs. Ira (Libbie) Miller, Webster City, Mrs. Alfred (Annalena) Lyon of Ayrshire, Iowa, and Mrs. M.D. (Grace) Summerbell of Knoxville; eight grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren; one brother Robert Weiland of Bristow. Besides her husband, she was preceded in death by one daughter, Hilda, who died in 1928, two grandchildren, her parents, one brother and two sisters. Mrs. Petersen was baptized in the Methodist faith and was a member of the Methodist church in Webster City.
