Johanna Albertina Wilson was born to Pernilla Svensdotter and her husband Jons Olsson Wingquist in Verum, Sweden.
Johanna Willson was promised by her parents to George Sealander when she was 15. When she was 19, they had a son George Gottfrid Sealander Jr. George Sr. died not long after George was born. Johanna met and married Ole Edward Peterson and had two more sons Edward and Arthur. She and Ole had a restaurant in Seattle for a time and their son Arthur "Pete" made box lunches for the Long Shoremen on the wharf. They sold the restaurant and bought a ranch north of Oroville Wa near the Canadian border. They raised apples, hay, pigs, chickens, and cattle. Johanna was an excellent cook and a hard worker. She would cook up food for people that lived in cardboard boxes during the Depression in Oroville and Ole would deliver it with fresh cow's milk. When they moved from Seattle to Oroville, Johanna insisted on taking her pet milk cow. One day the cow decided to go to town. Ole and Johanna had to hitch up the wagon and go to Oroville and get her. Johanna was Swedish and made the traditional foods. She would buy dried cod and hang the ropes on the beams in the basement waiting to make Lutefisk. She would also buy pickled herring in the old-fashioned kegs. Her doctor told her not to eat it anymore due to her having high blood pressure. Pickled herring is high in salt. She was agreeable and went on her way. Then out of the blue, Johanna had a stroke. It was then they found, she had a half-eaten keg of pickled herring in the cellar.
They raised their granddaughter Dorothy "Nellie" Peterson . Her sister Virginia "Ginny" Peterson visited when she could. Johanna was a very loving, kind individual according to Dorothy. She was also active in a local ladies club and performed in "Hiawatha".
