Mrs. J. E. Peterson passed away at her home on D Street and Tenth Avenue last Saturday morning. Death was due to pernicious anemia, of which malady she had been a victim for more than a year.

When a child of four years, she immigrated with her parents and sister and brothers to the United States, coming immediately to Douglas county, where they settled in Belle River township. Here she was united in marriage in June 1886, to John E. Peterson, and Alexandria has ever since been her home. Of this union the following children were born: William Theodore of Arboga, Cal.; Clarence Alvin of this city; Richard Elsworth, who died in infancy; Alvina Violette McEwan of West Point, N. Y.; Mabel Aurelia Gordon of Shevlin; Eleanor Johnson of Arboga, Cal.; Myrtle Victoria and Arthur Hugo Peterson, at home.
Besides the children, Mrs. Peterson is survived by her husband. She also leaves two brothers, Charles E. Shogren of Turloch, Cal., and August Anderson of Walker; one sister, Mrs. Charles Westman of this city.
