      Ed Peterson, Implement Dealer & Civic Worker, Died Following Stroke

      Funeral for Edwin Peterson, 66, Minnewaukan, implement dealer, was held Wednesday at 1:00pm at St. Peter Lutheran Church in Minnewaukan. Burial was made at the Vang Cemetery near Vang, North Dakota.

      Mr. Peterson died Saturday at Memorial Hospital at Maddock where he had been a patient eleven days, after suffering a stroke. Rev. Roger Paulson officiated at the service here. Vernon Lysne sang two solos, accompanied by Mrs. V.A. Helberg. Active pallbearers were Palmer Sinness, Walter Lien, Gordon John, Valentine Wentz, Clinton Anderson, and Carol Goranson.

      Mr. Peterson was born October 17, 1895 at Vang, son of Adolph and Bertha Peterson. He attended Vang public school.

      He was married on 24 September 1918 to the former Inga Olson at Langdon. They moved to Devil's Lake in 1933; later to Grand Forks; and to Minnewaukan in 1940. He operated a garage and repair shop here and in 1951 added implement business, selling and servicing the Oliver line.

      He was very active in civic endeavors, serving on the city council fifteen years; was president of the Minnewaukan Commercial Club four years, and served as chairman of the Minnewaukan Diamond Jubilee. He was a Republican precinct committeeman for the City of Minnewaukan, and was a member of St. Peter Lutheran Church.
