He was a man whom it was a pleas

genial disposition, helpful, of a
kindly and generous nature, ho
was a prince among men. No

Petor Autzen he was always the

to him in distress in vain. His
holping hand was ever ready to
roliovo destitution. Ho was
keenly interested in the growtl
and development of bl. Johns
and ho devoted much of his time
toward this end. Ho was
possessed of splendid business
ability and judgment, and his
dealings with his follow men
woroallof the fairest and sfiuar
est, and ho never took advantage
of any man. row men had more
friends Mian he, and it is with
thu deepest regret they now
realize that his kindly am
familiar figure will no more he
Heen upon this earth. The work
is the belter for having had men
like Peter Autzun live in it.
Potor Autzon was born of
Danish parents May 1. 1 Kit 1.
in Schloswi);Holstein when that
province was under Danish rule.
During tho War of 180(5 between
Denmark and Germany, youiii
Petor, though only eleven years
of age, was sunt alone by his
father witli a four horse team
to deliver supplies to Danish
soldieni who were then near the
German border to resist the in
vasion of their country by the
Uorman army. In an early con
f I let. German arms prevailed.
resulting in a rout of the Danes
and choking the highways with
Hutting mini and wreckage of
war. Much to bis father's mir
priso and delight, young Peter
was tho only teamster to return
with his load of proviHions all
others overturned and abandoned
their vvsgons in an oll'ort to oh
capo capture. I'Yoni that limit
on, he minted a hatred for the
(lurinau military rule.
KoMpomivo to bis innate do
sire for absolute freedom of ac
tion, Mr Aulxeu came to Amer
ica woon after reaching mature
manhood and swore allegiance
to tho United States as soon as
bo was in position to do so.
On August 5th, 1SKVJ, he was
married to Miss Anna Wegner
at Sail i'Vancisco, and immedi
ately departed with his bride
for tho liray's Harbor Country
in tho employ of the Simpson
Lumber Company. The young
couple began housekeeping at
Hoipiiam, WhsIi.. in the full of
1882. Three children weif Imrn
to thutii. The Aral died when
three years of age; their (Sligh
ter Alice, Mrs. Morris, died in
August, 1!H7. His wife, and son
Thomas, survive him.
Tho loyalty, hospitality and
joviality of Mr. ami Mrs. Aut
7.011, soon won for them a host
of friends, who, from lKJlt) to
181)7, insisted Unn showing
tlmir appreciation by impress

with the huiiity approval of
tho public, filled with fidelity
and credit, the reaiwtive ollicex
of Collector of Customs for the
Port of Cray's Hai'lvor, Post
Master and Mayor of IbNpiinm.
and County Comisnioner of Che

courtesies were ollVivd him
while in public oil ice in the nn
turu of free railroad trnnsMrtn

in those times, but they were
always politely and unceremo
niously declined- the reason be

him the HHineof '"HoiieHt Pete."
