Mr. Peterson has not been in the best of health for some time, but his condition was not thought to be alarming. He was born in Sweden and came to the United States in 1890. For a number of years he was employed by a large coal company in Chicago as yard master. Coming to Oregon, he settled in Medford and soon entered the employ of the city. Besides his wife, Rosa Peterson, he leaves two brothers, Albert Peterson and Canada and Gust Peterson of Sweden. Also one sister in Sweden. The sympathy of many friends go out to Mrs. Peterson who, in the last 10 months has lost her father, a brother, one son and now her husband.
