    AMONG the most prominent newspaper men in Meeker county should be classed H. I.
Peterson, editor and proprietor of the Litchfield Independent. He is a native of
Goodhue county, Minn., born at Red Wing, on the 14th of February, 1857. He was
raised upon a farm, attending district schools during the winter months until he had
reached the age of fifteen, and in the mean time coming with his parents to Meeker
county, Minn., in 1S07. When he had reached the age mentioned he entered the office
of the Meeker county News as an apprentice to learn the printing business, and
remained there for about two years. After that time he was engaged chiefly at his
trade as a compositor until 1876 when he bought a half interest in the Litchfield
Independent, of which he is now sole proprietor.

   Mr. Peterson was married in 1881 to Miss Jessie Doll, of Meeker county. They have
three children — Edward Leroy, Florence Edith, and Bessie Frances. Mr. Peterson
takes an active interest in all matters which tend to advance the interests of
either town or county; is a capable writer, and his paper is deservedly influential
and popular.
