General Notes: Husband - William Daniel Peterson

---

He was brought up on the South Side, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, receiving his education in the public schools, and after leaving school was for a time the assistant of his father in the management of the home farm. At the outbreak of the Civil war he enlisted in Company C, One Hundred and Second Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, and on May 30, 1863, was made second lieutenant of the same company and mustered into service. He participated in the following battles: Williamsburg, Virginia; Fair Oaks, Virginia; Chantilly; Antietam; Fredericksburg; Chancellorsville; Gettysburg; Rappahannock Station, Virginia; Mine Run, Virginia; battles of the Wilderness; Spottsylvania; Cold Harbor, and Petersburg. He was wounded at Williamsburg May 5, 1862. He was honorably discharged at Charleston, South Carolina, September 3, 1864, at the expiration of his term of service.
After the war he lived for a time at Baton Rouge, moving thence to New Orleans, where for about twelve years he engaged in the coal business. He then sold out and returned to the vicinity of Pittsburgh, purchasing a farm above McKeesport, and for the remainder of his life devoted himself to agriculture. His political principles were those upheld by the Republican party, and he was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church.
