  FRED PETERSEN, deceased, who for more than a quarter of a century had lived retired in Appleton, died in that city January 6, 1908. He was a native of Germany, and was born in 1832, a son of Fred and Wilhelmina (Rates) Petersen, natives of the Fatherland, where the mother died. Mr. Petersen came to the United States in his later years, and died three years after his arrival. Fred Petersen came to the United States in 1850, and first located in Milwaukee, but after a short residence there moved to Outagamie county and bought land in Clayton township. After he had cleared up a good property from the timber he sold his interests and located in Appleton, engaging in the meat business, in which he was engaged until his retirement in 1882. Mr. Petersen was married January 15, 1859, to Mary J. Zeh, born in Germany, June 6, 1839, daughter of Henry and Christina (Fichtelman) Zeh, who came to the United States in 1846. Mrs. Petersen's father died while crossing the ocean, but his widow and children landed in this country after a voyage of nine weeks, and the mother purchased twenty acres of land near Milwaukee, this being operated by her children. There were eight children in her family, and at that time the oldest was nineteen years of age and the youngest only three years old. Mr. and Mrs. Petersen had a family of eight children: Fred, of Appleton; Henry, a resident of Minneapolis, in the insurance business; Annie, at home; William, a resident of Chicago; Mary, living in California; Minnie, a school teacher of Milwaukee; Pauline, also a teacher in Milwaukee; and Alvina, who married Fred Zabler of California. Mrs. Petersen and her children are members of the Congregational Church. Mr. Petersen was a member of the Odd Fellows and the A. O. U. W., and was a prominent public man, serving as township treasurer and supervisor in Center township for many years.
