Big Timber Pioneer, April 5, 1928
Peterman Drowned
James Peterman, a trapper by occupation, drowned in a slough at the Peter Riveland ranch, known as the old Fell place, four miles west of this city, about six weeks ago, as near as can be ascertained. The body, badly decomposed, was found Saturday evening by sons of Riveland, being brought here for burial Sunday afternoon. From appearances, Peterman had started across a slough to his cabin on Frenchy Island, between the slough and main channel of the Yellowstone, and had drowned in about a foot and a half of water. Nothing was found on his person except a state trapper's license, issued in December 1927, and a broken bottle. Deceased was about 54 years of age, and that is all known of him. He was a late arrival here, coming sometime in the late fall. In February he got his mail at the local postoffice, but no call had been made for it since the 15th of that month. Many will recall him as a man of dark complexion, short black whiskers, and a drag walk, as if he had been stricken with paralysis at one time.
