Bernard Peterson, age 88, passed away on Friday, October 20, 2006, surrounded by his loving family.

He was born February 23, 1918, in West Prairie, Vernon County, the son of Elmer Louis and Anna Thealina (Simonson) Peterson. Bernard helped with the farm and raising his younger brothers and sisters, after his mother passed away when he was 15 years old. He joined the Civilian Conservation Corps and was stationed in Camp Loyal and Camp Viroqua. Bernard enlisted in the U.S. Army on July 25, 1940, and was stationed in Ft. Lewis, Washington, for nine months. He rapidly was promoted to Drill Sergeant and was a Heavy Weaponry Instructor, training numerous recruits. Bernard was shipped overseas on December 9, 1944, and was involved in the Battles of Ardennes and Rhineland. He received two Bronze Battle Stars, in addition to the American Theater Ribbon, the American Defense Ribbon, the Victory Medal, the European African Middle Eastern Theater Ribbon, an Overseas Service Bar and a Good Conduct Medal. Bernard was very proud of being able to serve his country. He was honorably discharged on December 9, 1945. In 1954, he married Donna J. Spears. They lived at Waubesa Beach for 40 years. Bernard worked for 31 years at Oscar Mayer. He loved gardening, fishing, hunting, camping and time with his family.
