Mrs. 0. S. Peterson.—The family of which Mrs. 0. S. Peter­son, of Columbia tp., is a member was one of the first to locate on Clark's lake, and justly deserves mention in this book:. In 1855, when Jackson county could boast of as much wild timbered lands, and forests tilled with Indians and wild beasts as any county in the Territory, Mr. Daniel Peterson, with his family of 6 sons and 5 daughters, pressed his way westward, and in the month of June halted his ox-team on the north bank of the beautiful sheet of water bearing the above name, that of its discoverer. Here he took from the Government 160 acres of that heavily timbered and very fertile soil. Mr. Peterson was a man of much resolution and a brave heart, and knew that with the co-operation of the then quite able-bodied sons lie could conquer the kings of this forest and turn his sylvan retreat into rolling wheat-fields, and make for his family a home; and this they immediately set to work to ac­complish. The family, however, remained on this spot but a few years, and moved upon sec. 15, where he erected a small frame dwelling and developed a good property. This home he occupied until his death in 1824, and since has been owned by one of his sons, 0. S. Peterson, one of the older sons of the family, and still a resident of this tp. He was born in Washington county, N. Y., and came West with the family in 1865. He received his educa­tion at Fort Edwards, his native home.
