  Biography	1911
  History of Outagamie County, Wisconsin Page 1120
  FRED PETERSEN, a well-known business man of Appleton, and senior member of the large meat manufacturing firm of Petersen & Rehbein, one of the leading firms of its kind in the city, was born in the town of Clayton, Winnebago county, Wisconsin, March 25, 1880, a son of Fred and Mary (Zeh) Petersen, the former being a native of Glueckenstedt, Germany, and the latter of the Prussian Province of Saxony. Fred Petersen, the elder, came to the United States in 1854, and located in Milwaukee. He was a carpenter and cabinetmaker and in this country was chiefly engaged in contracting and building. Some of the buildings erected by Mr. Petersen are still standing as monuments to his skill and thoroughness as a workman, and one that was built in 1857, is now, after a period of more than half a century, in an excellent state of preservation and in daily use. Mr. Petersen died January 6, 1908, leaving a widow and eight children, all living, the children's names being as follows: Fred; Henry, a resident of Minneapolis, Minnesota; Anna, living at home; William, a civil engineer of Chicago, Illinois; Mary, residing at Long Beach, California; Minnie and Pauline, both engaged in teaching at Milwaukee, Wisconsin; and Alvina, the wife of Fred Zabler, of Coachella, California. Fred Petersen, the immediate subject of this sketch, was educated in the common schools and at Lawrence College. Before attaining his majority he bought and sold stock in this section, and when twenty-one years old he took over the business formerly conducted by his father. He now owns a stock farm of 120 acres near Appleton, where he raises thoroughbred Holstein cattle. He has served as alderman and as a member of the General Assembly two terms, is a member of the Elks, the Modern Woodmen and the E. F. U. He has always stood for that type of citizenship which places the city's interest before his own, and any movement which has for its object the betterment of educational, social or commercial conditions, finds in him an earnest and enthusiastic supporter. In 1883, Mr. Petersen married Josephine, daughter of Henry and Frederica Mathieu, who died in 1889, leaving one son, Fred. In 1891, Mr. Petersen married his first wife's sister, Edith, and they are the parents of one daughter, Esther, who is living at home. Mr. and Mrs. Petersen are members of the First Congregational Church.
