Pe years. Having disposed of his interest in the saw mill, he, assisted by Theodore White, built a flouring mill in the town of Fulton, and followed his trade in connection with his interests in agriculatural afairs up to March, 1881, when he disposed of his property and became a resident of Rochester, where he and Mr. M. S. Weills formed a partnership in the hardware and agricultural implement business. On the 18th day of November, 1856, he was united in marriage to Caroline Madory, a native of Switzerland, born near Basle, on the 15th day of March, 1835. She had come to America with her parents, Peter and Anna Madory, in 1849, and was, at the date of marriage, a resident of Fulton County. To these parents were born seven children--Frederick W., born August 26, 1857, deceased March 21, 1859; Loisa A., born August 25, 1859; Charles F., born March 22, 1861; Etta M., born March 6, 1863, deceased March 6, 1866; Sophia M., born on the 12th of March, 1866; Emma, born June 14, 1869, and Carrie, born October 12, 1871. However successful a man may be, there comes a time in his life when the longing to see the home of his childhood can be satisfied in no other way than by going back to the scenes of bygone years. Coming as he had to a new country, without money, and after many years of hard and diligent labor, and being successful, he concluded to visit the Fatherland. Accordingly, in 1880, he, in company with the late Hon. J. F. Fromm, journeyed back across the ocean to their old homes, where they remained for severl months. Mr. Peterson has become a thorough American in thought and business. He is one of those men capable of adapting himself to circumstances and surroundings. His true worth is highly appreciatd by a host of friends. As evidence of the high esteem in which he is held, he has been elected to the position of Trustee of Liberty Township for fourteen years, and also as Commissioner of the county for thre years. He is now meeting with good success in his new enterprise, and enjoys the confidence and well wishes of a large circle of friends. [T. B. Helm, Fulton County Atlas, A. L. Kingman, 1883, pp. 24-25] STORE HERE SHUT FOR NON-PAYMENT GROSS INCOME TAX The first closing of a place of business in Fulton county because of non-payment of gross income tax took place Monday afternoon when a padlock was placed on the door of the Raymond Peterson auto accessory store at 524 North Main Street, after Peterson had surrendered the keys to officers. The place was closed because of Peterson’s alleged failure to pay state gross income taxes for the years of 1935 and 1936. C. J. Otis, Indianapolis, field representative of the Indiana Gross Income Tax division, has been in Rochester for the past three weeks making a check on persons who have failed to pay their gross income tax to the state. Mr. Otis said he was able to make satisfactory adjustments in all disputed tax cases but that of Mr. Peterson. On his failure to reach an agreement with Peterson, Otis obtained the warrant to padlock the auto accessory store. Unless Peterson satisfies the gross income tax for which he is said to be in arrears, his stock of merchandise must be inventoried and advertised for sale. Enough of the merchandise will be sold at the sale to cover the past due tax and the costs incurred in the legal procedure necessary to the conducting of the sale.

PETERSON & WEBBER [Rochester, Indiana] DISSOLUTION NOTICE Notice is hereby given that the co-partnership heretofore existing between Weills, Peterson & Webber, in the hardware trade, has been dissolved by mutual consent, M. S. Weills retiring from the firm. The books and accounts are in the hands of the remaining partners for settlement. WEILLS, PETERSON & WEBBER, Dec 24th, ‘84.

Several years later Harry Louderback built his residence on the lot. - WCT] __________ ANOTHER MINIATURE GOLF COURSE BEING ERECTED Workmen started construction on Rochester’s second miniature golf course today on the vacant lots located between 11th and 12th streets on the west side of Main. The course is being installed by Guy Alspach of this city, who stated that the layout would be one of the sportiest in this section of the state. Huge flood lights will be erected for night play and as the location is situated on State Roads 31, 25 and 14, the proprietor is anticipating a heavy run of tourist patronage. Mr. Alspach, who operates the Hub shoe store in this city and a chain of other shoe stores throughout northern Indiana has not as yet announced who would be in charge of his new business venture. It is believed the course will be ready for patronage in about ten days time. [The News-Sentinel, Tuesday, July 8, 1930] PETITE MINIATURE GOLF COURSE OPENS THURSDAY The Gu y Alspach miniature golf course which has been under construction for the past several weeks on a lot located between 11th and 12th on South Main street, will be open for play on Thursday evening of this week. It is said by those who are up on their “pee wee courses” that the Rochester lay out is one of the finest and most interesting of any of the numerous up-state courses. The Petite golf course, unlike many others, will have natural fine-grade putting greens, water hazards and numerous other fascinating devices which will add to the lure of the game. Rustic seats have been arranged around the course for the comforts of spectators who may desire to witness the play. In event of rain Thursday evening the openint date will be postponed until Friday evening. [The News-Sentinel, Wednesday, August 6, 1930] [adv] The Grand Opening of the PETITE GOLF COURSE, So. Main, between 11th and 12th Streets, will take place Thursday evening, Aug. 7th, at 7 o’clock. In event of inclement weather, opening will be postponed until Friday evening. Neither time nor money has been spared
