Charles Sreeve Peterson
Charles Sreeve Peterson (July 28, 1818 – September 26, 1889) was an early Mormon leader who was the first settler of Utah's Morgan Valley,〔"The Settlements of Morgan County". ''Morgan County Utah Historical Society''. (). Accessed 23 April 2007.〕 a member of the Utah Territorial Legislature, and one of the first settlers in the Mormon colonies in Mexico.
== Early life ==
Peterson was born to a poor family in Mount Holly, New Jersey. One of ten children, he went to work at age 10 to help support the family, hauling brick at a kiln during the summers and chopping wood with his father in the winters. At age 14, he apprenticed as a blacksmith.
On the night of November 12, 1833, one of the more spectacular Leonid meteor showers on record (dubbed the "Falling Stars Phenomenon") hit the East Coast of the United States. In the middle of the night, Peterson woke to mobs screaming the end of the world was at hand. Similar scenes played out up and down the Eastern Seaboard.〔Jemison, T. Housel. ''A Prophet Among You''. Pacific Press Publishing Association. Oshawa, Ontario, Canada. 1955. pp. 173-74. See also ().〕 But instead of rushing to the nearest church like most people, Peterson, who was not religious at the time—he later described himself as "almost an infidel"—went back to bed.
At age 17, Peterson went to work on a farm, where he attended some school. While at school, he met his future wife, Ann Dennis.
