MRS. H. c. PETERSON
DIES in BROOKVILLE

Death again entered the ranks of
the early pioneers of Redwood County
when Mrs. Hans C. Peterson, we'll
known and highly esteemed resident
of the Brookville community, passed
away at about two o'clock Thursday
morning of last week at the home of
her son-in-law and daughter, Mr.. and
Mrs. Rudolph Christensen, in Brook
vile.
Funeral services were held on
Monday afternoon at one o'clock at
the home and later at the Danish
Lutheran church in Brookville, Rev.
Bolvig of Mankato officiating. Six
of the grandchildren served as pail
bearers, namely: William Peterson,
Raymond Peterson, Clarence Peter
son, Benny Peterson and Sidney and
Roland Peterson. Burial was made in
the Brookville cemetery.
Mrs. Peterson was ill but for very
short time and death therefore came
entirely unexpected. Becoming con

came weaker until the last breath Of
life ebbed away on Thursday morning
of last week. She had suffered an
attack of influenza a few days prior
to her death and this together with
an affliction of asthma was primarily
the cause of her death. She was 70
years of age when the final summons
came.
Mrs. Peterson was a most lovable
woman, an ardent worker, performing
acts of kindness throughout her life.
Everyone who knew her respected her
fine character and gentle demeanor.
Coming to this locality as early as
1869, Mrs. Peterson witnessed much
of the early development of the from
tier and during her early residence
in Prairieville Township, Brown
County, she endured many of the
hardships which were encountered by
the early pioneer settlers.
Mrs. Hans C. Peterson, nee Maren
Nelson, was born in Denmark, Nov
ember 9, 1850, and was therefore past
70 years of age at the time of her
death on January 10, 1929. In 1869
she came to this country with rela-
tives and settled in Prairieville Town
ship and on December %, 1871, she
was joined in marriage to Hans c..
Peterson, who preceded her in death
on November 26, 1902.
Mr.. and Mrs. Peterson settled in
Prairieville Immediately after their
marriage and farmed in that COM
munity for period of Is years. In
1886 they moved onto farm in the
Brookville community in Redwood
County. For the past five years
Mrs. Peterson made her home with
her daughter, Mrs. Rudolph Christen-
sen.
