  History of Dakota Territory by George W Kingsbury Page 359
  Bernard Peschong, who owns six hundred and forty acres of excellent land in Grant county, was born in Ozaukee county, Wisconsin, December 16, 1856, a son of Peter and Katherine Peschong, both natives of Germany, the former born in 1832 and the latter in 1833. The father went to Wisconsin in 1845 and in that state grew to manhood. For a number of years he worked on a farm in Michigan but later took up a homestead in Wisconsin and there resided upon his farm until the death of his wife in 1866. He then sold one hundred acres of land and returned to Michigan, where he remained for a number of years. He passed away in 1910. He was a member of the Roman Catholic church and gave his political allegiance to the democratic party. He was successful in business and all who knew him held him in high respect. In Wisconsin he was united in marriage to Katherine Pioron, a daughter of Peter Pioron, who settled on a farm in Wisconsin about 1848. To this union seven children were born, five of whom survive: Bernard; Louis, who is a priest and is the head of St. Francis Seminary at Milwaukee; Kate, who is with her brother Rev Louis; Elizabeth, who is now a sister in Notre Dame Convent in Michigan City, Indiana; and John, who is a priest and is stationed near Milwaukee. Bernard Peschong received his education in Wisconsin and partly completed a course in preparation for the priesthood but his health would not permit him to continue his study. In 1880 he removed to Lincoln county, South Dakota, and on the 3d of April of that year purchased a relinquishment of one hundred and sixty acres, upon which he resided until 1903. He then removed to Grant county, where he now holds title to six hundred and forty acres of excellent land. He erected a commodious residence and also built a granary and improved his barn. He carries on general farming and stock-raising and is meeting with a gratifying measure of success in both branches of his business. When he came to South Dakota his capital was only five hundred dollars but his industry and enterprise have enabled him to gain financial independence. Mr. Peschong was married in 1883 to Miss Elizabeth Krell, who was born in Wisconsin and is a daughter of Peter Krell. Her father settled in that state in 1849 and continued to reside upon the farm until his demise. Mr. and Mrs. Peschong have become the parents of eight children, seven of whom survive: Peter, who is on his father's farm and who is a member of the Knights of Columbus; Agnes, the wife of Joseph Loehrer, a farmer of Grant county; Rose, the wife of Stanley Farley, who conducts a hardware store in Milbank; Nicholas, who resides at home and who is a member of the Knights of Columbus; Anna, who is a school teacher; Anthony, at home; and Loretta, who is attending school. The sons Peter and Nicholas, are considered the best baseball players in their county. Mr. Peschong is a republican and has served on both the school board and the town board and was town treasurer but has not taken a very active part in politics as the management of his farm demands the greater part of his time. He and his family are communicants of the Roman Catholic church and do all in their power to aid in the work of that organization.
