• Notes

  PETERSON, HENRY A son of A. J. Peterson, Berlin, graduated in medicine from the University of Toronto in 1872. He spent about two years at Listowel, then went to Neustadt, and in 1875 was in Linwood. While he was there he was appointed coroner. In 1878 his wife died in Waterloo, so possibly he lived there for a time. The Canada Lancet, October 1, 1880 said: Dr. Henry Peterson, formerly of Berlin, Ont. has been appointed lecturer on Materia Medica in the Fort Wayne College of Medicine, Indiana. He is listed in the Fort Wayne City Directory in 1880-81, but not after that. At the time of his father's death, in May 1900, he was referred to as Dr. Hy Peterson of Kansas City. Dr. Alexander D. Campbell, Doctors in Waterloo County 1852-1925, 1986
