PETER B. FROESE
Our dear husband and father, Peter B. Froese, was born Jan. 13, 1881, at Buhler, Kansas, and departed this life Dec. 16, 1952, at the age of 71 years, 11 months, and three days.

He was united in marriage to Lena Johnson May 4, 1906, with whom he shared joys and sorrows, for 46 years. To this union were born one son and two daughters.
