General Notes: Husband - Rev. Frank Randolph Peters

---

He resided in Sewickley, Pennsylvania, until his eighteenth year, attending the common schools, and then took up the vocation of a teacher. He presided over country schools in the winters, and during the rest of the year fitted himself for a teacher, and eventually for the ministry, by following out courses of study in academies and seminaries. He attended at various times the Western University of Pittsburg, the McKeesport Normal School, the McKeesport Academy, and taught during several years in Elizabeth township at Thorn Hill, Reynoldston, Franklin and Leet township. After a term in the Normal School at Sewickley, he taught three winters in Leet township, and in 1881 attended Mt. Union College at Alliance, Ohio. In 1879, he was licensed as a local preacher of the M. E. Church, and occasionally filled pulpits; in the spring of 1882, in answer to a call he went to Volante to fill out the year of Rev. Crum, who had died there. At the succeeding conference in the fall, he was admitted on trial to the Erie Annual Conference, and was assigned to the Greenwood charge, which embraced the churches at Greenwood, Croton and Savannah, and over this circuit he presided for two years. For the three following years he was placed in charge of the Petersburg charge, and in this connection he held services in three different conferences and two states. Then followed two years at Salem and three years at Volante, and in the fall of 1892 he was assigned to the charge of Mahoningtown. At the conference held in 1897 at Oil City he was assigned to Brocton, New York. Mr. Peters was decidedly a builder and organizer. Before going to Salem, while on the Petersburg charge, he built a church at Enon Valley. During his term at Salem, it was through his efforts that a parsonage was built, and the same thing was true at Volante during his ministry there. After coming to Mahoningtown, he was instrumental in rebuilding the church, and in moving the parsonage to a location adjoining the church.
