RUBBER CASED For All Small Cars $12.95 ARROWHEAD SERVICE STATION tl. P. Peterson, Early Resident, Dies At Age of 86 N. P. Peterson Was born in Bara, Scone Co., Sweden, on March 6, 140. At the time of his birth, wages 'in Sweden, for the peasant class, were so poor that his parents could hardly hard-ly earn enough to keep themselves alive. When Mr. Peterson was a baby less than one year old, he was takctn by his uncle, Auders Carson, and kept until 12 years of age, dur-whlch dur-whlch time he attended school. At the age of 12 he was expected to earn his own living. His uncle was considered fairly well to do, although he rented the land he farmed. At Christmas time they generally killed, (for"' "family" of 'I)" 2 pigs, 2 sheep and 6 or 8 geese. Carlson had one son, two years older than Mr. Peterson, Carl Peter Anderson by name. When Mr. Peterson was 12 years old he went to Malino, Sweden, and worked at different things finally' in a bakery shop until he was fifteen years old, at which time! he was taken to Denmark where wages were much better. At that Place he worked in a clothing cloth-ing fatcory 'at all kinds of Jobs, finally going back to bakery work again, a Job he liked. He remained in Demark until he was 27 yean of age. He was bapti2ed by P. Jensen on April 23, 1S67, and came to America with a company of emigrants, on an old time sail ship. They were more than six weeks making the trip, most of the time without good water to drink. A man on this ship told them ne Knew now to distill tne ocean water and make it good to drink but he made a failure of his process and the passengers were compelled to drink sea water or water that was as black as ink. Charles J. Olson, who came on the same ship said that three members of his father's family were burled at sea. A large number of the passengers of this company were burled in the ocean. He cross ed the plains before the railroad wss built. .: When Mr. Peterson arrived1 in Utah he took a contract wit'i Ihe old Utah Central Railroad, wheel barrow bar-row and shovel, making ten dollars a day which seemed a fortune to li!ra at that time. He was married in the Endowment house to Matilda Holder. The ceremony cere-mony was preformed by Daniel H. Wells. He helped to build the railroad through to Pleasant Grove in 1873 and was section foreman of this railroad rail-road division for over twenty years. He! went on a mission to his native lajid April 1", IJS.I, returning in July, 1SS7. He worked for the railroad a number num-ber of years after ho returned from his mission, finally retiring to take rare of his orchard. He worked , in ihe Sunday School for over fifty years, twenty-five of which he was treasurer... He was a member of the presidency In the Seventies Quorum with Alexander Bullock as President. At the time of his death he was a High Priest and was always at his post of duty. Also was a ward teach er for many years. Surviving " are two sons, Xels, of Riverside, California. Frltzob, of Aberdeen, " Idaho, and one daughter, Hermes of this city, besides fourteen grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Funeral services were held in the Tabernacle Tuesday at 2 o'clock p. ni. with nfshop S, L. Swenson In charge; Singing Quartet "Come, Come; Ye Salnta" R. Merck. SIgna Christen- sen, Alfred Swenson and Stella Hard man. Prayer W, L. Hayes. Trio B. Merk, SIgna Chrlstensen and Stella Hardman "Not a Leaflet Waveth." S. D. Moore was the first speaker. He atUd "I appreciate being here this a fternon. and deem it an honor thl family has bestowed upon me by asking me to talk at this funeral I always admired two traits In Mr. Peterson's character, 'the desire to bear his testimony' and "his deslw for the scriptures to be read to him after he was unable to read them himself.' He often read from the book . of Alma, . where Jt aaya .'Death Is only temporal, all shall rise, and be restored not even a hair of tbe head shall be lost.' He advised all to seek dellgently the work of the Lord and try as hard to live up to their light as did Mr. Peterson." T. If. Gleaaou, aald, "I do not remember when I did. not know Mr. Peterson, Intimately. His life and work has had an influence on my life. He always performed nis work in the best possible manner, he believed In always living up to the advice he gave to others. He was always full of sympathy for those less fortunate than he. He was always ready to donate to every worthy cause. He filled a wonderful mission in this life which will continue In the next world. I hope to live a life so that I may be able to assffclttr with such men as Mr. Peterson In the eternities to come.1 Brother James McAllister of the B. Y. U. rendered a solo "Teach Me To Put My Trust In Thee. President Harris of the B. T. TJ, said "We cannot help but be torn with conflicting emotions on this occasion, oc-casion, one of joy that one so noble has lived in this community, and one of sympathy with Hermes In the passing of her father to whom she has been so devoted. Her plans always al-ways Included her father. All who know Hermes, know of her beautiful life and fine personality and I am glad to pay tribute to Mr. Peterson for her sake as well as Mr. Peterson's Peter-son's sake and the rest of the family. "It is a satisfaction to see one go through life to the close with sturdy manhood, devout faith, perfect example and perfect maturity. "I feel to rejoice that Mr. Peterson embraced the gospel in his native land, obeyed the dictates of his own conseIenrer.Ihat he reared a family with the hope of eternaT life and the assurance that God Is over all." Solo "A Perfect Day"Maurine Gamett, accompanied by Helen Swenson, Swen-son, piano, and Alfred Swenson, violin. President George H. lirimhall said, "I have not known Mr. Peterson Intimately except through his daughter, daugh-ter, Hermee. I plead with her mother to permit Hermes to take up the career as a teacher of children and a teacher ol teachers. Hermes always al-ways obeyed her mother's council. She has impressed the lives of mothers and directed the lives hundreds of children. "These exercises have been filling, these flowers so full promise, the symbols of honest heartfelt heart-felt appreciation of a good father, citizen and church worker. It is the sturdiest test of character and nobility to accept an unpopular religion, leave all his -relatives and come to a strange land. God honored honor-ed him by making him his official agent to speak and officiate for him. He had hope, and youth always for hera there is youth there is perpetual per-petual happiness.
