THE CLYDE REPUBLICAN, 13 June 1912 |
Obituary of JOHANNES PETERSON |
Johannes Peterson (1825-1912), one of the old and much revered residents of Leonardville
passed away at his home in that city Sunday Jun 2, after an illness of about four weeks.
Mr. Peterson was born in Filsaryd, Kalmar, Sweden June 19, 1825. In 1846 he was married
to Christina Swenson who died in 1898. To this union eleven children were born, of which
four have already preceded him in death. He leaves to lament their loss, five-daughters
and two sons. He and his family came to this country in 1868 residing in Altoona IL two years when in the spring of 1870 they came to Washington Co KS. Here he homesteaded a farm on which they lived until 1903 when he, together with his daughter Emma who has been a faithful help to him these years, moved to Leonardville where he resided until his death. Having lived in this part of the country for about 40 years, he gained by his kindly disposition, the good will and respect of all who had the happiness of knowing him. His kindness manifested itself in his every action and was extended alike to both old and young. The deceased had been a member of the Swedish Lutheran church since 1874. The funeral was held here Thursday afternoon June 6 conducted by Rev. Norder, when the remains were laid to rest in the Lutheran cemetery beside his wife, who had preceded him to Canaan's happy shore. |
