home here on Thursday. She had

Born in Norway, November ID, 1927,
she with her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Andrew Aslakson came to the vici-
nifty of DEBORAH, Iowa, when she was
baby of six months. The family
continued to make this settlement
their home until 1871 when now a
girl of fourteen, they emigrated to
Lamberton and Mr.. Aslakson took a
homestead on the bank of Dutch
Charlie Creek, just south of LANDER
ton. The homestead still remains in
the family. Here Mrs. Peterson then
known as Sarah Aslakson grew to
young womanhood and in 1885 was
united in marriage to Eric Peterson.
To them one son, Alfred, was born,
who came to sudden death in 1917.
Saddened by his death, Mr.. and Mrs.
Peterson moved to Lamberton, buy
ing home and business here in 1918.
This has since been their home. Of
a family of ten children, she is sur
vived by but one brother, Charles
Anderson, living on the homestead.
Also surviving her are her husband
who was her. devoted companion
throughout the years Of her i'll health
and by daughter-in-law, Mrs. Ida
Peterson and two grandsons, Elmo
and Lloyd. Lloyd has made his home
with his grandparents since the death
of his father. Of quiet retiring
disposition, Mrs. Peterson's greatest
interest was in her home. Here she
was devoted to her family and her
influence was always for good. She
loved the worth while things of life
and was worthy of the highest re-
spect as wife, mother and citizen.
