FRANK PETERSON

Grantsville, Maryland

  Mrs. John Zehner received a message Saturday that her brother-in-law, Frank 
Peterson, had died at a hospital at Grand Rapids, Mich., after a very brief 
illness.  Mr. Peterson had been troubled with a heart condition for some time, 
but had been discharged from the hospital about two weeks ago.  His condition 
continued to grow worse however, and he was again taken to the hospital 
Thursday.  On the way he suffered another heart attack from which he was unable 
to rally, and he died Thursday night.
  Mr. Peterson was born at Grand Rapids, Mich., about sixty years ago.  For a 
number of years he was located at Washington, D.C., with the Veterans' Pension 
Bureau, but after his marriage some fifteen years ago he and his wife, the 
former Minnie Bonig, settled at Rockford, Mich., where he engaged in the 
practice of law.  They have since made their home there.  Mrs. Peterson, who was 
born at Grantsville, and spent her early life here, was a daughter of Sophia and 
August Bonig, and is a sister of Mrs. John Zehner, and Mrs. Nettie Bill, of 
Grantsville.  She also has a number of relatives in the Cumberland and 
Lonaconing sections as well as in this section of Garrett County.  Mr. and Mrs. 
Peterson have often visited here, their last visit being in January, when they 
came to attend the funeral of their brother-in-law Charles H. Bill.  With the 
exception of his wife, there are no close survivors.
  Mrs. Nettie Bill, Grantsville, and Mrs. Zehner's son, Roy Zehner, Pittsburgh, 
left for Rockford immediately upon receipt of the message, which had been 
delayed in reaching its destination.  They arrived at Rockford Sunday night in 
time to attend the funeral services which were to be held there Monday 
afternoon.  Mrs. Bill expects to remain there with her sister for the present.
