Author: See Below E. P. PETERSON, attorney at law, of Litchfield, came to Meeker county in May, 1867, with his parents, Olof and Hedda F. Peterson. E. P. Peterson was born in Goodhue county, Minn., in June, 1855, and was therefore twelve years of age when he came here. His father took a homestead in Harvey township and remained until 1883, when he removed to Nicollet county, and later to Des Moines, Iowa, where he still lives. E. P. Peterson remained at home attending school, and also spent one year in the State University, and when he had arrived at the age of nineteen he began teaching school, and followed that profession for three years. Then, in company with his brother H. I., he bought the Litchfield Independent. In 1880, selling his interest in the paper to his brother, he began the 6tudy of law with Campbell & Spooner, of Litchfield, and about two years later was admitted to the bar. Since that time he has devoted his time exclusively to his profession, and has been very successful.
