Excerpt from: The Fehringers Come to Peetz
In August 1916 John Frank Fehringer and his father, George Fehringer of the St. Mary's Comunity near Humphrey, Nebraska came west to Colorado looking for land. They had heard that land was good and was not nearly so expensive as in Platte County, Nebraska so they came to find out. John was planning to marry soon and it was necessary to find a home before that.
They found a suitable location three miles west of Peetz and so on January 23, 1917 John married Clara Wemhoff at St. Mary's Church and brought her to the treeless tableland as a bride. They came to live on this place that was their home for fifty-five years where eleven of their thirteen children were born.
