• Marriage: Lene Hansen on 26 May 1854 in Erritso Parish, Denmark
• Died: 15 Jan 1895, Hampton, Hamilton, NE, USA at age 66

General Notes:
Peder was christened Oct 5, 1828 in Viuf parish, Vejle County, Denmark. He lived in the villages of Klattrup and Haustrup, Smidstrup parish, Vejle County, Denmark, coming to America when he was 53, arriving at New York on Oct. 26, 1881 on board the vessel Suevia out of Hamburg, Germany. Lene, Niels & Soren were with him. Peder received his final citizenship papers on March 27, 1893. He was buried in the cemetery near Hampton, Nebraska on January 18, 1895. The year (1894) on his tombstone is incorrect. All entries within the church record identify his death as 1895 and on Oct 28, 1894 Peder & Lene (with son Carl & his wife Maren) received communion.

Peder married Lene Hansen, daughter of Hans Benned Iversen and Sidsel Henrichsdatter, on 26 May 1854 in Erritso Parish, Denmark. (Lene Hansen was born on 22 Apr 1828 in Jerslev Parish, Denmrk and died on 4 Nov 1903 in Hampton, Hamilton, NE, USA.)

Marriage Notes:
Peder & Lene, with Niels and Soren joined the Danish Lutheran Church north of Hampton, Ne. on Nov. 5, 1882 although immigrating the previous year. They may have spent a short time in Illinois prior to coming to Nebraska. A 1921 History of Hamilton Co stated Soren Petersen came to Nebr. in 1882. On Dec. 12, 1882 Peder & wife bought 80 acres in Section 22 from Peter Miller (North half, Southwest of 22-12-5) located 7.5 miles north of Hampton, Ne. on the east side of the road. In April, 1885 the mortgage to Miller was released. In 1899 Soren Petersen, as administrator, sold the land to Niels Christensen. The same 80 acres would later be owned by Otto Bruno Kotz prior to Carl Petersen purchasing the land Feb. 25, 1919. Carl's son Alfred remembered of Bruno Kotz telling of living in a single building, half home, half barn, that had been the abode of Peder & Lene previously. It is not known if that structure was located on the same acreage. The Hampton Danish Church Minister's Book identifies Peder's grandson, Peter Sorensen; only child of their daughter Karen who died in 1884, lived with Peder & Lene and was later shown as an adopted child.
