Peter A. Petersen.
3 pkts.
Peter and Katrine Petersen immigrated to America in 1910. They came to Omaha, where Peter's uncle, Anton Grobeck lived. He owned the Grobeck Dairy. They were married at Pella Lutheran Church in 1912 and moved to White River, S.D., where they homesteaded. They had 9 children there: Margaret (Breese), Evelyn (Bousfield), Edwin, Clarence, Lettie (Anderson), Ruth (Falksen), Erna (Berthelsen), Kenneth and Marian Jane (Nelson). In 1937 due to drought and the depression, they lost the farm to taxes. They moved to Albert Lea, Minnesota where they rented land and then purchased their own farm in Freeborn County in 1941.
