  • Introduction

    Detlef Petersen was down from Oak Creek Decoration Day. Detlef is one of the old-timers, coming here way back in 1878—33 years ago, when he was a young man, single, but refused to stay that way; was here when Sherman county was in swaddling clothes, before our pre-historic court house was built; when they had Kearney for a trading point; used coffee mills to grind their food to eat and is a living encyclopedia of early pioneer history of Sherman county. He is still living on his land taken up when he came here, is comfortably surrounded with this world's goods, has raised a fine family of children, and is jolly, happy and contented. What more or better could one ask? Could Detlef be prevailed upon to give his knowledge of the early history of Sherman county. It would prove mighty interesting reading. Why don’t he or others do so. The Loup City northwestern, June 01, 1911, Page 5
