Alfred G. Peters, now engaged in operating the old Peters farm of 256 
acres in section 11, West Albany Township, was born in Glasgow Township, 
this county, April 16, 1885, son of Peter and Eliza Stohmann Peters. His 
elementary education was obtained in the common school, and he was 
subsequently graduated from the Lake City high school. In the fall of 
1908 he went to the Minnesota Agricultural College, where he took a 
one-year course. For a number of years he was associated with his father 
in the cultivation and development of the home farm, which he carried on 
for his mother after the father's death April, 1907, and of which he is 
now the owner. It is a fine property, with full equipment, and well 
stocked with high grade Aberdeen Angus cattle, Poland-China and Chester-
White hogs, and merino sheep, each herd or flock having a full-blooded 
sire. Mr. Peters is successfully engaged in diversified farming and is 
enjoying a prosperous career, the result of industry and good management.

and owns a five-passenger automobile. He was married October 18, 1911, to 
Mae, daughter of John E. and Nancy McFarland Brown of Glasgow Township, 
and he and his wife are the parents of one child, Corrine Loretta, born 
April 25, 1918.
