excerpt from Budget date unknown reporter Maxine Renner Eberle:
"Carl/Charles Peters was born 1817 in Hesse Cassel,Germany,son of a govern
ment official. By age 12, Carl had passed all the grades of the public sch
ools in Cassel and was sent to the gymnasium (college) to prepare him f
or the study of medicine. At age 16, he entered the University of Marbur
g, then a year later at Wurzburg University, then to Erlangen, where he gr
aduated with high honors at age 21.
In 1838, Dr Peters came to Pittsburgh, PA where he met his younger brother
s, Franz and Hugo, who had come to America the year before. Making his w
ay to OH from Pittsburgh, Dr Carl Peters located his practice at Louisvil
le in Stark County. Being dissatisfied there, he continued on through Indi
ana and Illinois, where in fall 1839, he had an obstinate attack of malari
a. He concluded then to locate at Evansville IN, where he formed a partner
ship with another physician, but not agreeing with his partner's midnig
ht gambling and sprees, Carl returned to OH, where in the spring of 184
0, he landed in Winesburg, with eleven cents in his pocket. Being satisfi
ed there was no malaria in this part of the country, he decided to ma
ke it his home."
