This page will include stories and photographs related to the family of Amelia and Charles Oscar Peterson. Their oldest daughter Clara Verona married Obed Franklin Lindgren of Lanyon, Iowa and became an important part of the Lindgren Family Connections for which this entire website has been established.
Verona, as she was almost universally known, was named according to family tradition where the oldest daughter was named Clara, which was her mother Clara Amelia and her grandmother Mainquist.
Verona had four siblings, Pauline (Carlson), Samuel “Sam”, Wesley “Wes” and Eleanor Wenstrand.
Verona’s children are three boys, Bruce Franklin (b.1940), David Charles (b.1943) and Steven Obed (b.1949).
Pauline’s children are Joseph, Jr., James, Rebecca, Cynthia.
Samuel and his wife Evelyn’s child was Julie.
Wes was first married to Jackie and had two children, Dennis and Diana. A second wife Sue was the mother of a daughter, Sue-Sue …
Eleanor married James “Jim” Wenstrand, of Essex, Iowa (near Red Oak), and they had four children, Ann, Gloria, Randy and John.
Family history, genealogy and lore were collected by many, but we particularly thank Joe, Jr., Jim, Rebecca (Bec Pelz). and Cynthia Freeberg for providing the wonderful photographs from many sources.
