Mr. Peterson was one of those unassuming men. He was a stone mason and plasterer by trade at which he worked as long as he was able. Last fall however, he began to fail and since March he has been continually confined to his bed, suffering great pain most of the time. He bore up patiently however, and set his house in order spiritually and prepared to meet his God, this faith in Jesus Christ his Savior and Redeemer. The loving hands of his near ones ministered to him till the end. Benedick Andreas Peterson was born in Mosjoen, Helgeland, Norway, September 18, 1853. He came to America in 1883, remaining two years and then returned to Norway. Later he came back to this country settling in Estherville, Iowa.
