Personanteckningar
Peter carried carpenter's tools to USA. Owned a used furniture
store in Pacific Beach, California from about 1928 until about
1938.
Opened a used furniture store in La Mesa, California, partner with
son-in-law Percy Daniels.
Retired about 1940, sold store to Percy Daniels and bought 14
acres of land with small house, outhouse, barn, well on mountain
side of Mt. Woodson, southwest of Ramona, California. About 200
yards from Mt. Woodson Ranger Station (son Everett C. Carlson,
Ranger in Charge). The Ranger Station was home to Everett C.
Carlson, Agnes J. Landry and Donald J. Carlson.
Peter spent about 18 years clearing the land on the mountain side.
He raised chickens, rabbits, fruit orchard, and a beautiful
garden. We ate chickens, eggs, rabbits, vegetables, fruits during
the rationing of WWII. Maintained a trap line, trapping wild
animals for their hides. He sold the hides as well as the rabbit
skins. Live trapped some animals for sale to people who wanted
wild animals (foxes for ritzy ladies to walk on a leash). About
1946 indoor plumbing installed with toilet, tub and sink in a new
bathroom. Barn full of antiques, junk and 20 years of National
Geographic magazines - it burned down about 1956
One day he caught 2 skunks in a live trap. Dilemma - how to
release or kill the skunks without being sprayed. No solution -
he got sprayed!
Ate supper with son's family every night. Played cribbage with
grandson Donald every night possible. Read newspaper everyday,
listened to news on radio faithfully and then when TV was
available, watched the news every night.
The chicken pen was across a small ravine from his bedroom. When
noise from the chicken pen woke him up (usually from coyotes or
foxes killing chickens) he would slip the window open and open
fire with his shotgun. This usually killed more chickens than the
coyotes or foxes would kill. I don't think he ever hit anything
other than chickens.
Drove a 1938 Dodge Coupe - ran a stop sign and was hit by another
car in 1956 - refused to drive again - felt he was unsafe behind
the wheel. Had stroke about 1958, spent last two years in nursing
home in El Cajon, California.
