History in
a Pecan Shell
Petersville has
no 19th Century history. It dates from 1932 when a man named Frank
Peters opened a store near what had been Hochheim Prairie.
Prior to Mr. Peter’s store, a dance hall had been in operation here.
St. Anne’s Catholic Church bought the building in 1945. In the late
1940s, Petersville had several businesses including a blacksmith and
two groceries. It reported a population of 38 for the 2000 Census. |
