  ANDREW F. PETERSEN, a well-known business man of Grand Chute township, who is extensively engaged in cheesemaking, is a native of this township, born March 14, 1876, a son of John C. and Minnie (Freiberg) Petersen, the former born in Frankfort, Germany, in 1842, and the latter at Stetein, Germany, in 1849. John C. Petersen came to America when twenty-five years of age and engaged in the butcher business at Appleton for about twenty-five years, and then removed to a farm in Grand Chute township which he operated until his retirement, and then returned to Appleton, his death occurring in that city July 10, 1887. His widow still survives him and makes her home in Appleton. They were the parents of five children: Lucy, the widow of Albert Hutter, of Appleton; Emma, who married John Ross, a tailor of Appleton; John, who is engaged in butchering in that city; Louis, a farmer of Grand Chute township; and Andrew F. John C. Petersen became a prominent man in his community and was elected to various township offices and later served one term in the General Assembly . Andrew F. Petersen attended the graded and high schools of Appleton and the Wisconsin Agricultural College, and resided with his mother until he had reached his nineteenth year, at which time he started to learn the trade of tailor. During the Spanish-American War he became a member of Company G, Second Regiment Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry, and in April 1898, went with that organization to Porto Rico, where he saw service until the following October. On his return to Appleton, he took up cheesemaking as an occupation, becoming connected with the old Duley Factory in Ellington township. One year later he engaged in business on his own account at the School Section Factory, and here he owns an acre of land on which is located his residence and factory. He also has seventeen acres in the farming section, most of which is timberland. Mr. Petersen devotes his entire time and attention to his business, the capacity of his factory being 10,000 pounds of milk daily, and his product being marketed in Appleton. He has shown himself possessed of much business ability, and the business has grown rapidly since he has taken charge. He is an independent Republican in his political views and has served Grand Chute township as township clerk. On April 10, 1902, Mr. Petersen was united in marriage with Lillian Wilharms, and they have had one son: Harold J., born February 11, 1903 .
