Erick A. Peterson was born in Ringkarleby, Sweden, June 5, 1879, and died April 17, 1948 at Drumbarger's convalescence home, Tipton, at the age of 68 years, 10 months and 12 days. He came to this country (or U.S.) in 1902 and spent several years in Colorado and Wyoming prospecting in the mountains for various minerals. He moved to Alberta, Canada in 1912, where he was engaged in farming until last September when he came to visit his brother, Dr. Peterson, of this city, and take treatments for his failing health.
