Peter Laptad was born at Vergennes, Vermont, September 25, 1842. During the Civil War he served as a private in the Fourteenth Vermont Infantry and it was always prominent in his mind that his brigade held the rebel fire at Gettysburg. His second period of service was with the Second Vermont Field artillery.

At the close of the Civil war he came west to Lawrence where for a time he operated a retail business in North Lawrence. He was later in business at Linwood and finally settled on a farm in Grant township. He was married in 1867 to Agnes F. Petrie.
