[The News-Sentinel, Thursday, January 18, 1940] PET WHOLESALER [Rochester, Indiana] WHOLESALE PET INDUSTRY LOCATED IN ROCHESTER Few people in Rochester are aware of the fact that this city can now boast of a new mailorder industry which is doing a thriving business, located at 1220 South Main street, in the exclusive residential section of this city. The owners of this business, which is that of wholesaling birds, pets, etc., are Mr. and Mrs. R. R. Roderich, formerly of Michigan City. Since the business arrived in Rochester a little over five weeks ago there have been over 250 shipments of pets made out of this city, enroute to all parts of the United States. An interview with Mr. Roderich today disclosed that his heaviest run of business is made on canaries, parrots, love-birds, homing pigeons and rabbits. The canaries are imported from Germany while the parrots are received from southern Mexico. Rocerich further stated that since he started in this business in June 1924 he has made a total of 2,200 shipments. The business is operated on an exclusive wholesaling basis and many individual buyers have been turned away since its establishment in Rochester.

PETERS (Biography) One of the energetic young men of Rochester who always has a good word for his town, a smile for his friends and a bargain for his customer is S. J.

[The News-Sentinel, Friday, January 27, 1928] PETERSON, FREDERICK [Fulton/Rochester, Indiana] BIOGRAPHY Frederick Peterson [also Petersen) - American customs and ideas are soon accepted by those who come from the old countries to seek fortune or fame, while race and descent form no particular barrier to honest worth. The subject of this sketch is a native German, born, December 18, 1832, near the city of Flensburg, in the province of Schleswig, Germany. His parents, Christian and Margaret Peterson, are natives of the same province, both born in the year, 1800, and are now living on the old home farm. Frederick is the second of the family of five children. His education, while no more than an ordinary German one, is above the ordinary American standard, owing to the German system of compulsory education. He assisted his father in the labor on the farm, yet, like all German youths, he must have some trade or profession, and he chose the miller’s trade, at which he worked, under an apprenticeship, for a time, and at the age of twenty years the desire to seek fortune in a new country grew so strong that he bade adieu to home and friends and sailed for America. Landing at New York on the 9th day of July, 1852, he immediately started for Fulton County, Ind., where he had friends living, and where he took up a permanent residence. He had not come with a fortune, so was compelled to do any kind of work he could find to do. He engaged his services in a saw mill near Fulton, in the southern part of the county. His intention and purpose being to earn an honest living, and at the same time to acquire a knowledge of the English language, of which he was wholly ignorant, he labored and studied for nearly two years in this place, then procured a situation in a flouring mill at Logansport, where he remained for some time, and during all this time he was learning the English language and adopting the American customs. By strict economy and hard labor he had accumulated sufficient means in these years to enable him, in partnership with Mr. John Plunk, to purchase and build a saw mill, which they conducted for a few
