General Notes: Husband - Jonas H. Peters
He was a carpenter by trade, and in 1846 located on a farm in Boggs township, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania. At that time there had been a small clearing made, and the improvements consisted of a log house and log barn. Mr. Peters plowed and planted the land, developed it into rich and fertile fields, and erected substantial buildings. In connection with farming he also carried on carpentering. He was the first to discover fire-clay in Clearfield County, and afterward gave his attention largely to the shipping of this clay, for which he found a ready market in Harrisburg and Pittsburgh. While working in a mine of the Harrisburg Clay Co., he was killed by the caving in of a roof. He was a recognized leader in the ranks of the Democracy in his locality, and held many township offices. For over forty years he was a leading member of the Methodist Church.
