"Gerhard" was the only child of Frederick Peters and his first wife, Maria Angela "Mary" Hegger. He lived with his family in Calhoun County, Illinois.

Gerhard was baptized on 21 Nov 1873 at St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Meppen, Illinois.

His mother died at the age of 20 on 18 Nov 1874, less than a week before the baby's first birthday. Gerhard died exactly 2 weeks after his mother. At the time of his death, he was 1 year and 13 days old.

Gerhard's stone has been remounted in a new base. Since the death date is below the level of the base, it was taken from a Calhoun County cemetery book.

After Gerhard and his mother died, Frederick Peters remarried in 1875. He had 9 children with his second wife, Mary Freesmeyer.
