Peter and Frildo left Iowa in a covered wagon drawn by a team of mules, along with their three children, Clara, John Peter and Dora. They arrived at his Uncle Henry Fengel's farm at Woodbine, Kansas on October 24, 1873, just a few days before the first grasshopper invasion. Before coming to Kansas Mrs. Fengel had been almost a complete invalid, and it was feared that she would not survive the journey west. Not only did she do that, but she had another child after arriving in Kansas and lived to a good old age. They bought a farm three miles west of Woodbine on West Branch Creek where they prospered until retiring from farming in October 1898. They then moved to Herington, Kansas. Peter was accidentally killed by a train of cars in Lincolnville, Kansas and was buried in the Herington, Kansas cemetery. Frildo died of a stroke of paralysis at Herington.
