: BUSINESSES: : Adolph MURER, a bakery : William PETERSEN, bought out MURER and "changed the bakery into a : tavern." William Petersen, son of James H. and Julia Ann Buergel Petersen (1895-1939) was my husband's grandfather. He married Celesta Westendorf (1894-1970) Jan 5, 1921. Information from anyone with further knowledge of the bakery or tavern would be greatly appreciated. William Petersen did operate the bakery for a while until Wonder Bread came into town and pretty much put him out of business as a bakery (or so the story goes). I have one of the huge wooden boxes (bread box?)they shipped bread in via railway cars to all parts unknown. Stamped on the side is "Buffalo Bakery, Buffalo, Iowa" Cathy Joynt Labath
