    EARL PETERS, nurseryman at Mt. Holly Springs, is a native of Adams county,
  Pa., and a son of John and Amanda Olney (Haskell) Peters, both living at
  Uriah, that county. The father is engaged in the same business as our
  subject, and in partnership with him, under the firm style of John Peters &
  Co. In Pennsylvania, and also in other States, they grow largely peach,
  apple, pear and other trees, making a specialty of peach trees. Their
  nurseries in this and Adams county cover 100 acres, and their packing and
  storage houses are at Hunter's Run, this county.
    
    Earl Peters was brought up in the nursery business, and since 1897, he has
  been associated with his father. The retail business is conducted under the
  name of the Woodview Nurseries, and through it they cover every state east of
  the Mississippi river. Until Jan. 1, 1903, Mr. Peters made his home at Uriah,
  and while there he served as postmaster. Since then he has lived in Mt. Holly
  Springs.
    
    On Dec. 28, 1898, Mr. Peters married Miss Marion V. Fell, daughter of James
  B. and Josephine (Conrad) Fell, of Bucks county, Pa., of English Quaker
  ancestry. Mr. and Mrs. Peters have two children, John Byron and Marion Kirk.
  Fraternally, Mr. Peters is a member of the Masonic order, Hebron Lodge, No.
  465, New Oxford, Pa.; and the I. O. O. F., York Springs Lodge No. 211.
