Message Board Post:
Parents were Otto Petri (a beer truck driver) and his wife Matilda Begley Petri and had
three girls, Lorene, Helen, and Velada around 1885-1901. Otto died about 1901-1902 and 2
of his girls were adopted after his death. Helen was adopted by the Vetters from
Cinncinnati, OH. Her name was changed to Ilene and she married a man with last name Fieke.
Velada was adopted by David MacLaren of England, a lumber broker and her name was changed
to Marguerite. She married Lloyd Jackson. Lorene remained with her mother and later
married a man with the last name of Locke. I was told there was an article in a newspaper
about a reunion with mother and daughters around 1940-1942. The spellings of the names may
be different. Any help with information about these girls or the article would be very
much appreciated.
