Biography:
Peter Peschong son of Reinhard Peschong and Jeanette Heusen
Peter Peschong, native of Germany, in 1833. Peter came to the United States July 3, 1845 on ship named Silvanus Jenkins from Antwerp, Belgium with his brothers: Bernard, Mathias ( wife Margaritha) and Michel. For a number of years he worked on a farm in Michigan but later took up a homestead in Wisconsin. In Wisconsin he was united in marriage to Katherine Pierron, a daughter of Peter Pierron, who settled on a farm in Wisconsin about 1848. To this union seven children were born, five of whom survive: Bernard; Louis, who is a priest and is the head of St. Francis Seminary at Milwaukee; Kate, who is with her brother Rev Louis; Elizabeth, who is a sister in Notre Dame Convent in Michigan City, Indiana; and John, who is a priest and stationed near Milwaukee. They lived in a log house, he cut down trees, sold wood and did a lot of hunting, trapping and fishing. There resided upon his farm until the death of his wife in 1866. When Catherine died (milk fever, 4 days after the birth of John) he put all of his children on the orphanage (Catherine's sister was a nun there) until they were 15.
He then sold one hundred acres of land and returned to Michigan, where he remained for a number of years. He passed away in 1910. He was a member of the Roman Catholic church and gave his political allegiance to the democratic party. He was successful in business and all who knew him held him in high respect.
Peter is buried with his 3 sons in Saint Francis Seminary: John, Louis, and Peter

Biography:
Bernard Peschong, who owns six hundred and forty acres of excellent land in Grant county, was born in Ozaukee county, Wisconsin, December 16, 1856, a son of Peter and Katherine Peschong, both natives of Germany, the former born in 1832 and the latter in 1833. The father went to Wisconsin in 1845 and in that state grew to manhood. For a number of years he worked on a farm in Michigan but later took up a homestead in Wisconsin and there resided upon his farm until the death of his wife in 1866. He then sold one hundred acres of land and returned to Michigan, where he remained for a number of years. He passed away in 1910. He was a member of the Roman Catholic church and gave his political allegiance to the democratic party. He was successful in business and all who knew him held him in high respect. In Wisconsin he was united in marriage to Katherine Pioron, a daughter of Peter Pioron, who settled on a farm in Wisconsin about 1848. To this union seven children were born, five of whom survive: Bernard; Louis, who is a priest and is the head of St. Francis Seminary at Milwaukee; Kate, who is with her brother Rev Louis; Elizabeth, who is now a sister in Notre Dame Convent in Michigan City, Indiana; and John, who is a priest and is stationed near Milwaukee.
Bernard Peschong received his education in Wisconsin and partly completed a course in preparation for the priesthood but his health would not permit him to continue his study. In 1880 he removed to Lincoln county, South Dakota, and on the 3d of April of that year purchased a relinquishment of one hundred and sixty acres, upon which he resided until 1903. He then removed to Grant county, where he now holds title to six hundred and forty acres of excellent land. He erected a commodious residence and also built a granary and improved his barn. He carries on general farming and stock-raising and is meeting with a gratifying measure of success in both branches of his business. When he came to South Dakota his capital was only five hundred dollars but his industry and enterprise have enabled him to gain financial independence.
Mr. Peschong was married in 1883 to Miss Elizabeth Krell, who was born in Wisconsin and is a daughter of Peter Krell. Her father settled in that state in 1849 and continued to reside upon the farm until his demise. Mr. and Mrs. Peschong have become the parents of eight children, seven of whom survive: Peter, who is on his father's farm and who is a member of the Knights of Columbus; Agnes, the wife of Joseph Loehrer, a farmer of Grant county; Rose, the wife of Stanley Farley, who conducts a hardware store in Milbank; Nicholas, who resides at home and who is a member of the Knights of Columbus; Anna, who is a school teacher; Anthony, at home; and Loretta, who is attending school. The sons Peter and Nicholas, are considered the best baseball players in their county. Mr. Peschong is a republican and has served on both the school board and the town board and was town treasurer but has not taken a very active part in politics as the management of his farm demands the greater part of his time. He and his family are communicants of the Roman Catholic church and do all in their power to aid in the work of that organization.

While Mother [Agnes (Peschong) Loehrer, Mamie's sister] was in Fond du Lac, Wis. going to school a terrible accident happened. Grandma [Elizabeth (Krell) Peschong, Mamie's mother], Grandpa [Bernard Peschong, Mamie's father] and family, Aunt Mae [Mary "Mae" (Krell) Gillman] and Uncle Gilbert Gillman were visiting at Uncle Matt Krell's place. Grandpa, Uncle Gilbert, and Uncle Matt had gone hunting prairie chickens and the women were alone with the children and no telephone. Uncle Matt had some carbolic acid on a shelf in the granary. Mother's sister Mamie, who was two years and two months old, saw it and wanted it as it looked like milk. So Nick Peschong [Mamie's older brother], four years old, climbed up on a high stool and got it. (Uncle Matt had used it for treating chicken cholera -- putting a few drops in the drinking water for the chickens.) Anyway Mamie drank the carbolic acid and was sick immediately. The women were able to get her to vomit by giving her soft lard and milk. They saw a young man driving by and motioned for him to come. His name was Stevens. So he took Grandma, Aunt Mae, and Mamie to Sioux Falls, which was about 15 miles away. The horses ran most of the way. They went to Aunt Mae's house and called a doctor but there wasn't much he could do. Mamie remained conscious and when she saw the baby, who was Anne Parden [Mamie's sister Margaret Anne (Peschong) Parden], crying she said "Ma, take care of the baby." Mamie died in the night. She had long curls and the undertaker cut off a curl and gave it to Grandma [Mamie's mother], which she kept for many years.
-----------
This story was told by Agnes (Peschong) Loehrer, Mamie's sister, to Agnes's daughter, Evelyn (Loehrer) Pufahl in 1963 or 1964, and all of the relationships in the story are relative to Evelyn. (e.g., "Grandma" is Evelyn's grandmother).
Somewhere along the way, this story has been incorrectly copied, changing a few essential facts, and adding some incorrect details, including the identity of Mamie, the identity of the baby, and the date of the story. The original version of the story is listed above in black with non-original notations made in square brackets in blue. As is clear from the original version of the story above, Mamie is not the same person as Margaret Anne Peschong, and the baby in the story is not Anthony John Peschong.
