Peter Madsen Peel (1820–1900) was a founder, first blacksmith, and civic leader of Mount Pleasant, Utah. A replica of his blacksmith shop is located next to the Relic Hall in Mt. Pleasant, including a working forge.〔("Peter Madsen and Christine Folkman Peel History" on the blog of the Mt. Pleasant Historical Society )〕 Peel was born in Aakirkeby, Denmark, in 1820; he was married in 1846 to Christianna Folkman. In 1853–54, they emigrated〔(Record of the Hans Peter Olsen emigrant company in which Peter came to the US )〕 to the United States, living first in Lehi, Utah, then moving to Sanpete County during the Utah War in 1858. Peel joined with others in founding〔("HOW MT. PLEASANT CELEBRATED ITS 50 YEAR ANNIVERSARY" at mtpleasantpioneer.blogspot.com )〕〔("Statue history plays important role in Mount Pleasant History" in Provo Daily Herald )〕 Mt. Pleasant in 1859. In addition to being the first blacksmith in Mt. Pleasant, Peel was an investor in an early mill on First West, the first president of the Birch Creek Irrigation Company,〔Longsdorf, p163.〕 and a leader in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (he ordained Anthon H. Lund to be a Seventy). Peel and his wife rented rooms in their home on "Peel Corner" to such a degree that it was referred to as the "Peel Hotel".〔http://pdfhost.focus.nps.gov/docs/NRHP/Text/79002508.pdf〕 The Pioneer Monument〔(Utah History Resource Center )〕 in Mt. Pleasant lists Peel as a founder of the city. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Peter Madsen Peel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
