Wilhelmine Mariane Peters, (nee Peters) was born in Weddingstedt , Holstein, April 22nd, 1852. She was married at the same place to Carsten Peters, December 14, 1871. In the spring of 1873 they came to America, and made their home in Clinton county, Iowa, for six years. Ever since that time they had resided in the neighborhood of Monticello.
Mrs. Peters became the mother of 8 children, of whom six are living. She is survived by her husband and the following children: Mrs. Dorothea Hanken, Austin, Minn. ; Mrs. Anna Woelbern. Bismark, N. D. ; Mrs. Alvina Prull, Langworthy; Mrs. Minnie McVey, Monticello; John Peters and Henry Peters, both of Monticello. Other survivors included four sisters and 12 grandchildren.
Mrs. Peters was a faithful wife and a good mother. Her children were well reared and are an honor to her memory. She had many friends who will long remember her kindness. She was brave unto the end, and it was with a calm resignation that she accepted the last slender chance that had but little promise in it for recovery. She was ready for the call, and went hopefully into the eternal rest that must come to all.
