Emigrated to the United States between April 17, 1856 and December 4, 1858.
Death due to infirmities. Male, 79 years, widower, interred on August 1, 1908, relative listed was G.H. Fries, died in Columbus, Ohio.
Peter is not listed in the Zanesville Directory in 1885. My guess is that his wife, Caroline died around 1880-1884 and that Peter moved to Columbus. He is probably living with his son Gustave in 1900 - check census.
