C. H. M. Petersen, a resident of the city since 1892, passed away at his home on Milwaukee Avenue at an early hour Monday morning, after a few weeks' illness.
Deceased was born in Mielberg, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, March 14, 1826. He received an education at the Teachers Seminary at Tondern, from where he graduated and followed teaching for a term of five years, when he enlisted in army service, being a principal in the Denmark Schleswig-Holstein war, which lasted some years.
He came to America with his family in about 1850, coming direct to Wisconsin and settling at Milwaukee. He held a position as a teacher and organist in the first Lutheran school of that city. Two years later he removed to Chicago, where he followed clerking until 1855, when he changed his location to Racine and entered the mercantile business. In 1861 he again removed, this time to a farm at New Holstein, where he remained until coming to this city in 1892. During the first four or five years of his residence here he was secretary and treasurer of the Schwartz Mfg. Co., after which he retired to spend the remainder of his years in quiet.
During his residence at New Holstein, the deceased represented his county in the assembly for four terms. He was also chairman of his town for a member of years and president of the Calumet County Mutual Fire Insurance Co.
He was twice married, the first time in his native land. His wife died in 1854 and from this union two daughters survive as follows: Mrs. Henry Bruns of Beloit and Mrs. R. Haygenga of Brant. In 1859, he remarried, choosing Miss Augusta Bodenstab as his life's partner, who survives him with the following three children: Dr. F. J. Petersen of Lompoc, Cal., E. L. and Hugo of this city. Two daughters of the latter union died in infancy.
The funeral took place at his late residence Thursday morning at 8 o'clock, D. Mahlsted making a few brief remarks, after which the funeral cortege went to New Holstein, where the remains were taken to the hall, and the funeral service was held at 2 o'clock the Rev. Schildknecht of the Reformed church officiating. The pall bearers were Carl Hecker, C. Lautenbach, Nic. Fischer, Aug.
