Death Comes to Peter Peterson— Respected Citizen of Petersboro Dies From Effects of Operation in Ogden Hospital.

He was conscious until about eleven o'clock on Saturday, at which time he began sinking very fast until four o'clock when the end came. The four sons who left Logan on the afternoon train arrived a few minutes before death. A large growth, about the size of an orange was removed in the operation. The body was brought to Logan Sunday night and will be removed to the Petersboro residence this morning. Wednesday at one o'clock p.m. the services will be held in the Mendon meeting house and burial will be in the Mendon Cemetery. Mr. Peterson was born in Denmark October 9th, 1847 and was 66 years of age. He came to Utah in 1859 and since that time has made his home in Brigham City, Millville, Hyde Park and Logan. He has been a farmer by trade and was the owner of one of Cache Valley's best farms in the Petersboro precinct. In this precinct he has held all the minor offices of trust, such as postmaster, road supervisor, constable and justice of the peace. He was a heavy stockholder in the Cache Valley Banking Company.
