Author: Portrait/Bio Album, Whiteside County IL 1885

Peter Kitchen, manufacturer of and dealer in harness and saddlery at Fulton, 
began business here in June, 1858, and has the oldest established house in his 
line in the city. He was born in Ithaca, Tompkins Co., N. Y., Dec. 15, 1837, 
and is the son of William and Martha (Van Buskirk) Kitchen. He learned his 
trade in his native town, and in 1856 went to Pennsylvania. Two years later he 
came to Fulton, Ill., and established his present business. He has carried it 
on continuously since, at this place, covering a period of 27 years. Starting 
in a moderate way, he has increased his stock and facilities for manufacturing 
till he now has an extensive establishment, well stocked with everything in 
his line and most complete in its appointments. Mr. Kitchen has been twice 
married, first at Fulton, Ill., March 24, 1860, to Miss Letitia Fitzpatrick by 
the Rev. Ben. Close. Two children were born of this union, namely: Frank, the 
eldest, is employed on the Mississippi River; the younger died in infancy. 
Mrs. K. died Dec. 13, 1862, and Mr. Kitchen was married again, at Fulton, Nov. 
11, 1863, to Miss Sarah E. Price, by the Rev. J. B. McClure. Mrs. K. is the 
daughter of William Price, and was born in Monroeville, Ohio. Mr. Kitchen is a 
member of Fulton City Lodge, No. 189, A. F. & A. M. In politics he is a 
Democrat.
