Known Activities

Peterson served as a Private in Company C, a unit drawn primarily from Elgin and surrounding towns in Kane County, Illinois. According to the 1908 History of Kane County compiled by Joslyn, at least six soldiers from Dundee served together in Company C, suggesting the community contributed meaningfully to the regiment's ranks. Peterson was among those mustered out on October 10, 1864. No further details about his wartime service, engagements, or postwar life are recorded in this source.

His fellow Dundee soldiers in Company C included Oscar Babcock, William Christoph, George Perry, Charles Pettit, and Lucius B. Rice, all of whom were mustered out on the same date. (Source: History of Kane County, Ill., Vol. 1 (Joslyn, 1908))
