community in Lake Andrew township.
His first wife preceded him in death
some years ago. On November Fl,
1914 he was married to Mrs. Hannah
F. Lindquist and in May 1916, they
moved to Village of New London.
Mr.. Peterson is survived by the
sons, William on the old home farm,
Albert Of Minneapolis Emil of Lake
Andrew; the daughters Mrs. Hilda
Palmquist and Mrs. Hilma Peterson
of Minneapolis, and by sixteen grand
children.
He was a splendid Christian gentle
man, a member of the Mission church
under the auspices of which organi-
zation he was buried Tuesday this
week, services being held at the Lake
Florida church at 2 p. m. by Rev.
Theo. Paulson. There were short
services in the home at II a. m. The

Troop No. / of Concord, Mass, raises
and lowers the flag on the Square each
day. A resident of historic Lexington
Road who has watched this loyal serv-
Ice, sees in it the same patriotic i'm
pulse of ,1775 when the "embattled
farmers stood and fred the shot heard
round the world" He writes:
Adown the street with measured tread,
With shoulders squared and eyes ahead,
Not looking to the left nor right,
They proudly march to do their mite %
TO sound of neither trump nor drum,
Nor music's thrill, nor plaudit's hum,
The khaki lads SO trim and At,
March to the Square to do their bit"
AND as the twilight gathers round,
They stand upon historic ground
Where sires met and nobly fought
For liberty their efforts brought.
Beneath the starry flag they stand,
AT sound of retreat" with loving hand
They lower the colors to the ground,
with reverence that is most profound.
Then fright about they march away,
Their duties over for the day;
Their 'good turns" done in all mems
sight,
They 90 to quarters for the night.
Thus is the spirit OF 10
Daily nurtured and made to thrive
Within the hearts of these small lads,
Loyal grandsons of fighting dads"
