John C. Peterson, 50, lifelong resident of Plymouth county, died at his home in Washington Township Friday. Apparently, in good health, he was seized with a heart attack and died unexpectedly. Mr. Peterson died in the house where he was born and lived all his life on the farm. He was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Julius Peterson and was born May 5, 1890.

He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Olga Peterson and two sisters, Mrs. Peter Von Hagel of Merrill and Mrs. C. C. Morris, living near Le Mars. On July 21, 1920, he was united in marriage with Olga Jensen and to this union, two sons were born who have both preceded their father in death, one in infancy, and Johnnie, Jr., in 1938 at the age of nine years.

He was baptized in infancy and later confirmed in the Lutheran faith. Mr. Peterson was a hard worker and a good farmer, making a success of his occupation.
