Vernon Carl Peterson was born March 7, 1913, at Lake Florida in Lake Andrew Township, to William and Annie (Holm) Peterson. He grew up in rural Spicer and attended country school near his home. He worked on several farms in the Spicer area. On March 18, 1939, Vernon married Lorraine Lovander at the Lovander home on Henderson Lake and they made their home and farmed on Lake Florida until 1976 when they sold the farm. Vernon and Lorraine moved to Spicer and served as custodians of Faith Lutheran Church until their retirement in 1997. Lorraine died in 2003.
