If ;this is he you may have other problems. His wife is Catherine and a Catherine Ettig (if I read it well) if this isn't her maiden name you may have a wider period to hunt. She is the petitioner of the estate so she must have married lickety split but finding her marriage to Ettig would help.

I found a death certificate for one of his daughters that said she was born in > Ashland, PA (in the 1850 Census they were in Blyth Twp, near Pottsville, PA) and then I found a Probate Record starting on 8 June 1859 - all the pertinent information was there but it only referred to him as 'Dec'd,' not his death date. I called the Orphans Court, but they only had the document and no death date. They thought it would not take six months after a death to start a Probate, but I thought starting at the beginning of the year was a good idea, just in case. I have been looking for this man's death date since 1997, I am now 83. I do not want to die not knowing when and perhaps how, if I am lucky, Peter died! I live in Texas but I am going, next May, to Ashland,PA to search the cemeteries and churches. Any other suggestions for where I might look? A million thanks from my heart.
