Mrs. Agnes Peters, widow of Henry Peters, Civil War Veteran, whom we laid to rest a little more than two years ago, was born at Flat Rock, Michigan, October 24th, 1849. She married Henry Peters November 6th, 1867, and twelve years later came west with her husband and family of five children. Both Templeton and Dedham were their homes for a while, and in 1882 they moved to Manning. Mr. Peters was a mail carrier for fifteen years, and his faithful wife performed the duties of a mother in an admirable manner.

The deceased was a devout Christian and a member of the Christian Church. She had been ill for some considerable time, and quietly slept away on Friday, April 24th, 1925, at the age of 75 years and six months.

Her daughter, Anna, Mrs. Selby E. Livingston, preceded her in death about three years ago.
