Surnames: Lamp, Petersen Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Qk.2ADI/1395.1429.1439 Message Board Post: This information is from a Lamp newsletter from the Lamp Family Reunion September 6, 1936. "This reunion is held to honor the memory of Peter Lamp and his wife Abel Kruse Lamp." (Then it goes on to describe all their children) Peter the fourth child married Louise Petersen and got the last 160 acres that his father bought. They lived on this farm until 1897 when he sold it for $75. an acre and moved to Mapleton, Iowa, where he bought 640 acres for $44. an acre. He died in 1928(either 1925 Or 1928). They had three children Theresa Lamp Schoenjahn, Harriet Lamp Wilson, and Henry Peter Lamp who died when he was sixteen years old." I hope this helps you out.
