Following a service at St. Joseph, the body was sent here where a graveside service was held this Wednesday morning at the Grundy Center cemetery. Her husband is also buried here. Monsignor John Smith officiated.

Mrs. Petersen is survived by four children, three daughters and one son, and 8 grandchildren. The two eldest daughters and their husbands, Mr. and Mrs. Allan Phie of Oak Park, Ill., and Mr. and Mrs. Frampton Rolland of Overland Park, Kans., came Tuesday for the service. They stayed with their aunt, Miss Beatrice Petersen. Also here for the service Wednesday were Mr. and Mrs. Ben Janssen of Bellevue. Mrs. Janssen is a sister-in-law of the deceased.

Mrs. Petersen's son Dan lives in Olympia, Wash., and the youngest daughter Madelon is at home. She is also survived by one sister and one brother.
