Born in Hollandtown, Wisconsin, on October 29, 1851

Died in Verboort, Oregon, on April 7, 1937 at age 85

Parents: John Evers and Petronella VanAert Evers

Peter Evers married Antonia Vandehey on May 29, 1876, in Wisconsin

They moved to Verboort in 1877, and together they had seven children:

Petronella

John

Annie

Allegonda (Alice)

Antone

Albert

William

Antonia died when William was 2 days old, from complications of childbirth. She was 33 years old. After Antonia's death, Peter raised his family in a farm house directly south of Visitation Cemetery while farming days and working evenings in his shoe shop. He sewed his shoes with pig bristle instead of a needle. For soles and heels, he used only wooden pegs, never using nails. He got the leather from Portland to make his fine handmade boots. In 1930, when he was 79, he made his last pair of shoes for his sister, Meika (Mary). Meika had been blind since 1919 following eye surgery and lived all her life with Peter, and later with his son, Albert. Although Peter semi-retired in 1910, when his sons took over his 80 acres of farm land, he was never idle. His spare moments were spent in prayer, a rosary always in his gnarled hands.

Leander S. Peters, 82, a resident of the Verboort community died Saturday morning, September 8, 2012 at his home.

A Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, September 12, 2012 at Visitation Catholic Church; 4285 NW Visitation Road in Verboort.

Rite of Christian Burial and Vault interment will take place at Visitation Catholic Cemetery.

A reception will be provided for family and friends held in the parish center.

Leander Sylvester Peters was born to Albert and Catherine (Hillecke) Peters on December 9, 1929, at the family farm in Verboort, one of thirteen children. He attended grade school and high school at Visitation School. He spent his youth helping on the family farm.

On March 30, 1951, he married his high school sweetheart, Dorothy Braukman in South Carolina while enlisted in the US Army. He spent a portion of his service stationed in Germany during the Korean War.

After returning home to the Forest Grove area, he started farming, and later worked in construction. He built many spec homes for Gaylord Shively in the Tillamook area, and Myron Sheelar; and eventually teamed up with his brother, Kenneth, to start Peters Brothers Construction building several custom homes in the area. His expertise included drawing the plans for the custom homes.

In the 1970’s he purchased farmland in the Forest Grove and Verboort areas and spent his time raising pigs, harvesting grain, farming prunes, and leasing several filbert orchards. Working on the farm was always a family affair teaching his daughters to drive the tractor, drive grain trucks, and more. He retired from farming in the mid-nineties.

He loved spending time with his family watching it grow to include eleven grandchildren and, more recently, two great-granddaughters. He was expecting two more—twins—a boy and a girl in November.

He took up golf in the sixties when Sunset Grove course was developed; and was an avid golfer until his stroke. He was so proud of his three hole-in-ones, serving as Men’s Club president, and winning the Club Championship. He was proud of his handicap that got as low as nine. He also enjoyed playing cards.

Another hobby was growing watermelons that he would proudly share with family and friends. Most of all he enjoyed the eleven grandchildren and showing them around the farm.

He was a member of Visitation Parish; and spent many years mashing the potatoes served at the annual Verboort Sausage dinner.

He spent the last six years in the Wynwood Retirement facility after suffering a stroke in 2004. He was considered a character by his caregivers and other residents. He continued to enjoy outings to Forest Hills Golf Course where he’d check up on his buddies.

He is survived by his wife of 61 years, Dorothy, and five daughters—Lyndel Peters of Beaverton; Renae and Dave Ooley of Forest Grove; Laura and Gerry Romjue of North Plains; Karen and Ron Ooley of Forest Grove; and Susan and Pete Lepschat of Forest Grove. His grandchildren include Dustin and Aron Ooley; Chelsie and Ashley Romjue, Holly (and Mike) Draper, and Bradley Romjue; MacKenzie (and Jim) Peters, Caitlin and Mitch Ooley; and Andy and Scott Lepschat. He has two great-granddaughters—Addison Romjue and Sawyer Peters. Leander’s death was preceded by the loss of two children, Paula and Jay Paul; his parents—Albert and Catherine; and siblings, Barbara, Stanley, and Frances (Tats). He has nine surviving siblings—Anna Marie, Norbert, Wilfred, Bernadette, Helen, Laurence, Paul, Kenneth, and Kathleen.

Memorial contributions can be made to Visitation Catholic Cemetery; 1960 NE Harewood Pl, Hillsboro, OR 97124

Dorothy was born on May 25th, 1932, in New York Mills, Minnesota to Henry and Judith (Polman) Braukman. She was the oldest of five children. After spending most of her childhood in Minnesota, her family moved to Verboort when Dorothy was in her early teens, and she graduated from Verboort High School in 1950. While at Verboort High School, she met Leander Peters.

Dorothy and Leander got married at Fort Jackson in South Carolina on March 30th, 1951, while he was in the Army. They returned to Oregon shortly after, and spent the rest of their lives in Washington County.

Dorothy could do anything with a sewing machine, and she sewed all of her daughters’ clothing when they were young, and continued with mending and alterations as their families grew. She also enjoyed knitting, crocheting, and needlework, and she passed her love of handiwork to some of her daughters and grandchildren.

Dorothy also spent her time reading books, watching movies, playing cards, and vacationing with family, especially at the beach.

Dorothy worked at Sunset Grove Golf Course for many years and made many friends, but taking care of her family was her priority. She didn’t want to be the center of attention, or take credit for everything she did. She was a loving caregiver for family members for much of her life. She was a wonderful caring mother, admired and loved by many of her daughters’ friends.

Dorothy was a devout Catholic her entire life, diligently prayed the rosary throughout, and kept up with daily online masses in recent years.

Dorothy had a very happy and active life up until her last day, and for that her family is extremely grateful. Her house was always full of children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, who loved stopping by for a talk, to hang out, cook, and visit the toy closet.

Dorothy was preceded in death by her loving husband, Leander, her children Jay Paul and Paula, her son-in-law, Gerry Romjue, and brothers Eugene and Henry “Butch” Braukman.

She is survived by her five daughters; Lyndel Peters, Renae (Dave) Ooley, Laura Romjue, Karen (Ron) Ooley, and Susan (Pete) Lepschat. Also surviving are 11 grandchildren; Dustin (Caroline), Chelsie (George), MacKenzie (Jim), Aron, Ashley, Holly, Caitlin (Dale), Mitch (Taylor), Brad, Andy, and Scott. She was also blessed with 10 great-grandchildren; Lon, Sawyer, Hudson, Tenley, Ellie, Owen, Wilder, June, Ronnie, and Forest. She is also survived by her siblings, Joyce Braukman and Tom Braukman.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Visitation Cemetery.
