Frederick Johann Paschen Peters
Fred J. Peters, a Member of the Forty-Fifth Regiment, Died at Home in New Holstein
Once more we have been called upon to pay the last sad tribute to an old citizen and honored resident of this village. After a long, lingering illness, Fred J. Peters passed away Friday morning, and his remains were interred in the New Holstein cemetery Tuesday. The funeral services were held at the Evangelical Reformed Lutheran Church, Rev. Schildknecht officiating.
Fred J. Peters was born in Kogel, Mecklenberg, Germany, Dec. 24th, 1837, and came to America in 1854. He was married to Frederica Lukow in 1860, and settled on a farm in Fond du Lac county in 1863. He enlisted in the 45th Wisconsin, and at the close of the war, returned to his home, where his wife died in 1870.
In 1871 he was married to Bertha Dens, who with two daughters, Mrs. Claus Sievers, of
New Holstein, and Mrs. Chas Arpke, of Goodhue, Minn., survive him.
In 1896 he disposed of his farm and built a residence in the village, where he resided at the time of his death.
Mr. Peters was an honest, conscientious citizen, generous to a fault. A neighbor in trouble was sure of assistance and sympathy from his hands, and he was always held in the highest esteem among the veterans. He was one of the pillars of the Evangelical Reformed Lutheran church, not only professing religion but practicing it also.
The patience with which he endured his long sickness was something remarkable, he having a cheerful smile and pleasant word for his friends up to the very last.
His life was such that all who knew him could say of him, “There was a man.”
Among the veterans he will be sadly missed, and many a tear did they shed when they thought of his prophetic words uttered last Memorial Day; “Boys, you will place a wreath upon my grave next year.”
As a citizen he was one who always took a deep interest in every question for the advancement of the community, and one whose opinion had a great deal of weight with his neighbors.
