On October 29, 1885 she was united in marriage in Burlington, Iowa to Gust Oscar PETERSON, who preceded her in death in 1937. To them were born four children, Clarence of Fresno, Calif.; Mrs. Henry LARSON of the Salina community; Harold of Dever, Colo. (sic); and Maurice of Oakland, Calif., all of whom survive. She is survived also by three grandchildren, Raymond LARSON and Elsie Mae LARSON of near Salina, and Calvin PETERSON of Fresno, Calif., now in the armed services of his country.

Mrs. PETERSON was confirmed in the Lutheran church in girlhood and remained steadfast in that faith all her life. In 1906 she became a member of the Salina Lutheran church.
