Mildred Peterson
My grandmother
Opal Mildred Peterson was born 06-07-1902 and died 12-82 (Parents:
Charles Lynn Peterson 1871-1964 / Angeline Bacon Peterson1876-?).
She was born in Union City (Erie) PA., and they lived most of their lives
around the Oswego/Fulton area, except for 15 years, around 1925-1940, in
which she lived within the Buffalo area. The Petersons had 10 other
children besides my grandmother. I have a few of their names.
She was married at
least 3 times:
1st to Arden M Burr around
1925 ( West Falls, NY - Had a gas station there),
2nd to Eugene Gerhard 10-05-1935
in Orchard Park, NY.and
3rd to
Ansil Briggs ( married in 1946 I believe ) until he passed away
in 1954. (Ansil's first wife was named Jessie ) Opal carried
the Northup name until she married Burr. She had one son, Ralph
Ceylon Northup, 7-20-1921 - 08-11-1992. He carried
the Northup name until 1938 when he legally had it changed to Burr.
The Briggs and Peterson kin should be fairly common around
the Oswego area. Opal and Ansil Briggs are buried in the Vermillion
Cemetery in New Haven, I believe with others.
