My Grandma Rose found a picture of the two brothers. "John and Danial" Can't wait to see the picture! I'm going to see if I can pick it up on Friday Feb 1st.

No Luck / Unanswered Questions

I have spoken to my grandfather Raymond Paul and his sister Rosella, they both don't remember John Henry's brothers name, only that he lived in Canada.

My next step is to look for the Peters name in Canada, and try to find out if I can find a Peters that has died around the time as John Henry Peters. And try to locate his living family. But I still don't know when he moved to Canada or when he died, just that he lived and died in Canada.

Or maybe I can try and locate my granduncle Herold John's children and see if they remember anything, it seam like a long shot, but I'm running out of places to look.

I think if I could answer any of these question it might help me find info on John Henry's brother.

1. Had John Henry Peters always live in MN?
2. When did his brother pass?
3. Did his brother get married?
4. Did his brother have any children?
5. Where in Canada did the brother live Manitoba?
6. When did his brother move to Canada?
7. Was he also Mennonite? Prob. not, The Wannos were the Mennonite 2/6/13
8. How much older was he? 
9. Could he of raised John Henry?

Census 1920

From what I can see in the 1920 Census, I have found 9 Groups of Peters family's in Mountain lake, MN. Unsure who is related at this point, But I did not find another John Henry Peters. I find this good, because the war draft card is looking more and more correct.

I found:

• Herman P Peters (33 of Russia/ Germany) Immigrated in 1894
• Henry C Peters (50 of Russia) Immigrated 1875
• Cornelius Peters (76 or Germany) Immigrated 1873
• Abraham H Peters (26 of Crima) Immigrated 1900
• Henry K Peters (52 of Germany) Immigrated 1895
•     Son's Henry H (27of Russia), Herman P (25 of Russia) Immigrated 1895
• Aron C Peters (58 of Germany ) Immigrated 1873
• Diedrick Peters (72 of Germany) Immigrated 1876
• Henry Peters (59 of Germany) Immigrated ?

1900 Census recorded 1 Peters family living on Cottonwood County:

1. Herman Peters age 50, immigrated in 1894

1910 Census recorded 1 Peters family living on Cottonwood County:

1.  Herman Peters age 60, immigrated in 1894
2. Dietrich Peters age 63, immigrated in 1876

The information I have gathered is that John Henry Peters, Oct 16, 1891-Jul 31, 1948 immigrated in 1898, making him only 7. So he had to come over with another person. So the information that Cindy Ann Bell Polehn, 1 Feb 1964 gave me about a brother living in Canada makes since. But still where and who did he stay with before his brother moved to Canada is my new question.

 

If I can find his brothers name I might be able to get my answer, But I still haven't found another Peters family immigrating in the same year (1898). I have a big gap of 22 years to find out more about John Henry Peters, Oct 16, 1891-Jul 31, 1948.

 

Timeline:

 

• Birth: 1891 in West Russia very near the German border
• Immigration: 1898-Age 7
• War Draft Card: 1917- Age 26
• Marriage: 1920-Age 29
• Birth of Daughter: 1921- Age 30
• Birth of Son: 1923- Age 32
• Birth of Son:1926- Age 35
• Death 1948- Age 56

Finding My Great Great Grandfather

My new goal is to find my great great grandfather Peters. I have been unable to find his first name and it seams the current information I have for him is not correct.

 I thought I had found a draft card from the only son I'm to know anything about (John Henry Peters, Oct 16 1891-Jul 31 1948) that stated he immigrated here with his parents in 1898. And the reasoning for his exception from draft was to his solely dependent mother.

But it's hard to make sure the draft card is to belong to him. It apereas to be him, however the birth information isn't correct.

After receiving an email from my 1st cousin 1x removed (Cindy Ann Bell Polehn, 1 Feb 1964) she had stated: " Her grandfather (John Henry Peters, Oct 16 1891-Jul 31 1948) was born in West Russia, very near the German border, spoke not only German, but some Russian too and came to the states as a lad. He had left behind his parents, and a disabled sister. He had a brother who lived in Canada, apparently due north of Minnesota, as my mom (Rosella Peters-Basom, 30 Jan 1921) put it".

My next step is to see if my grandfather (Raymond Paul Peters, Jan, 2 1926) can remember any information. The last time I spoke with him, he didn't know much. But maybe the story about the brother that moved to Canada will help.
