Thank you, Deb. We'll do some further checking on these leads.

I used to live in Columbia Township and its right on the edge of Cuyahoga and Medina Counties. On the 1880 census, he is divorced, age 42, and living with his brother Charles Peterson, age 45, and two other men -- Edward Nelson age 22, and John Johnson age 21. They are all quarry men. The only quarry I know of around there was in Olmsted Falls on the old East River Rd. North, which is in Cuyahoga County at the intersection where Columbia Twp meets. So you may want to look for cemeteries in that area. Also, his daughter Hannah Clarabelle Peterson was married in Rockford, Illinois (the second largest settlement of Swedes in the U.S.) on Feb 11, 1892 to Karl Victor Berglund, and is buried at Rose City Cemetery in Portland, Oregon. Often parents live near their children in later years, so you may want to look in the Rockford, Illinois and/or Portland, Oregon areas also, although I believe he would have died before she went to Oregon. Hope something here is helpful. -Deb
