Scope and Content: The Roland H. Peterson Collection contains information on Swedish immigrants Nels and Agnes Peterson, who settled in Milwaukee, WI. Son Roland attended the University of Chicago to study chemistry and came to Charleston to work for Union Carbide. Son Russell moved here with his brother and graduated from Charleston High School. Russell joined the 83rd Chemical Mortar Battalion and was killed in the sinking of LST-422 at Anzio, considered one of the worst naval disasters of World War II. The collection includes correspondence with the War Department about Russell's death, letters describing life in Charleston in the prewar, wartime, and postwar years, and correspondence with Roland's future wife, Mary Tavenner of Berkeley County, a teacher at Martinsburg High. This material also includes correspondence between Roland Peterson and his University of Chicago classmates, many of whom later became noted in the fields of science and law, including John Keith Butters and Norman Nachtrieb. Roland and Mary Peterson were politically active. Mary Peterson was very active in the American Association of University Women, the League of Women Voters, and the Tri-Acres Civic Club of St. Albans. Roland was a researcher/inventor for Union Carbide and the holder of several patents.
