Anton L. Pettersen f. 1867 i Bergen.


Recommended Posts

Jeg fikk en etterlysing fra en amerikaner i dag. Han lurte på om det var mulig å finne slekten hans i Norge. Tippoldefaren hans het Anton L. Pettersen f. 1867 i Bergen. Jeg finner flere som heter Anton L. Pettersen, Han mener også at mor til Anton het Rasmussen og da er det en kandidat som passer. Han skriver  mye om Anton. Det som hadde vært interessant er om denne Anton som ble født i Bergen i 1867 er den samme som drog til USA og om han hadde flere søsken?

ANTON L. PETTERSEN
Anton L. Pettersen, of Passaic, was born in Bergen, Norway, in 1867, of a family that traces his ancestry back for a period of over 500 years. His father was one of the leading merchants of Bergen, where Mr. Pettersen received his early education, and later entered the Bergen Polytechnic College from which institution he was graduated as a civil and mechanical engineer. In 1887 he came to this country and procured employment with the Lehigh Valley Railroad with which company he held a responsible position in the engineering department. After several years service with this company he went to Passaic and associated himself with Wise and Wilson, civil engineers of that city. With the exception of two years spent in Europe studying specialties in the engineering profession he has always lived in Passaic. Since his arrival in Passaic he has always taken an interest in civic affairs. His vast experience in the construction of municipal works has made him a valuable citizen, who has been ever ready to devote his knowledge toward the advancement of his resident city. As an appreciation of his untiring interest in the affairs of Passaic the voters of Passaic County saw fit to send him to the State Legislature as one of its Representatives. In the Assembly he was active in the advocacy of several important bills, particularly the trunk sewer construction. Mr. Pettersen was elected to the Board of Freeholders of Passaic County and was one of the original seven members of this body when it changed from the large to the small board. He also served as Civic Engineer of the city of Passaic for a period of five years; member of the Board of Health of that city for seven years; and one of the five members to investigate and report on the Passaic River navigation proposition, appointed by President Wilson, when Governor of our State. Mr. Pettersen is a member of the lodges of Masons, Elks, and is President of the Acquackanonck Club, in which organization he has taken an active part. At the present time he is engineer for the boroughs of Garfield and Wallington, Bergen County, and conducts an extensive private business as Civil and Consulting Engineer in the city of Passaic.

Jeg har ikke lest denne lenken godt nok til å vite om det er den ene eller andre Peder Gjert Pettersen.
Når jeg har ryddet i HBR ser jeg at det er en født 1840  https://www.histreg.no/index.php/person/pk00000002009324 som far til denne omtalte Anton Lorents.

 

og en annen født 1832 https://www.histreg.no/index.php/person/pf01052295019690 som også er skipper.

 

Tenkte bare at det er kjekt å være klar over.

Legger inn dødsmeldingen etter faren, Peder Gjert Pettersen, død 27. mars 1905

nr 4 Albert Pettersen ble også boende i Bergen, så ut fra dødsmeldingen ser det ut til at det bare var Anton L. som emigrerte.
