  HERMAN JOHN PETERS, a progressive and industrious young agriculturist of Greenville township, who is the owner of a finely cultivated farm of eighty acres, was born in Center township, Outagamie county, Wisconsin, April 11, 1878, and is a son of Fred and Elenora (Bohl) Peters, natives of Germany. Fred Peters was born in Mecklenburg, May 12, 1827, and his wife June 15, 1837, and they came to the United States in 1863, settling in New York State, where they resided for two years. They then made their way west to Center township, and here bought land and engaged in farming, continuing to reside there until they died, Mr. Peters' death occurring about 1897, and that of his widow October 17, 1908. They were the parents of nine children, of whom Herman John is the youngest. He received his education in the district schools of the neighborhood of his father's farm, and upon attaining his majority continued to work on the home farm for wages for two years, and then purchased the old homestead, which he cultivated until April, 1910, at which time he sold out and bought his present property. This excellent tract of eighty acres has been greatly improved by Mr. Peters, who has remodeled and repaired the buildings and added to the equipment, and it is neatly fenced and presents an appearance that indicates able management. On November 29, 1906, he was married to Augusta Braun, who was born in Saxville township, Waushara county, Wisconsin, May 7, 1886, daughter of August and Elizabeth (Stallmann) Braun, the former born in Pomerania, Germany, October 23, 18---- , and the latter in Waukesha county, Wisconsin, May 1, 18----. They came to Saxville township from Berlin, Wisconsin, where they were married, and resided on the farm until their deaths, the father passing away August 23, 1908, and his wife on the same date. They had thirteen children, Mrs. Peters being the fourth in order of birth. Two of Mrs. Peters' sisters are living with her: Emma, born May 28, 1895, and Lena, born October 8, 1902. Mr. and Mrs. Peters have had two children: Evaline, born May 4, 1908; and Verna, born March 10, 1910. The family is connected with the Ellington Lutheran Church. In political matters, Mr. Peters is independent, and has never aspired to public office.
