Thomas,

daughter Harriet. Harriet is my husband's great grandmother. Let me know if you are

Also, the following obit on Peter Berdine:
BERDINE, Peter (1814 - 1880)
FRANKLIN COUNTY (IOWA) RECORDER - 12/22/1880
Died, At his residence near Otisville, on Friday, December 10th, Mr. Peter Berdine, of
paralysis, at the age of 66 years. Mr. Berdine was born in Batavia, NY, in 1814, from
which place he moved to Illinois 50 years ago, while there was yet no railroad west of
Buffalo, NY. After a residence of nearly forty years in that state, he moved to Otisville
and occupied the farm upon which he died. The deceased was a man of decided opinions and
possessed of a clear cut individuality, always maintaining his positions with firmness and
decided tenacity. He was scrupulously honest, a kind neighbor, and usually prompt in
business matters. His clean, neat fields and abundant crops showed his large farm to be
under the care of a careful and efficient husbandman. The body of the deceased was buried
at the cemetery at this place on Monday last. The mourning relatives have the kindest
sympathy in the irreparable loss of a kind husband and loving father.
