Peter Tietsort, son of William and Elsie VanNess Tietsort, was born in Butler county, Ohio, January 28, 1808, the youngest but one of the family of twelve children, all of whom preceded him to the grave.
He moved with his parents from Butler county, Ohio, to Cass county, Michigan, arriving there in 1830.
He enlisted as a "minute man" and took part in the Black Hawk war in 1832, remaining in service till the Indians were subdued.
He was married to Nancy Wood, of Dark county, Ohio, May 15, 1835, who survives him.
He was converted and joined the Methodist Episcopal church at Wayne charge, Dowagiac circuit, Michigan, in 1837, and was an official member of the same until his removal to Illinois in 1856, when he was received by letter into Hopewell (now Paradise) church, Brighton circuit, and remained an official member of that society until his removal to Medora, when he became a member of the society at that place, remaining there till his transfer to the "Church Triumphant, which is without fault before the throne of God."
In his Christian experience he added to his faith virtue, which was followed in regular order of knowledge, temperance, patience, Godliness, brotherly kindness and charity. His "delight was in the law of the Lords" and in him patience had its perfect work. His wisdom was from above; first pure, then peaceable, gentle and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without hypocrisy." His life was "a living epistle known and read of all men." In 1886 he received a stroke of partial paralysis, which ended his active relations as a member of the church.
He had no children born to him, but adopted Charles Wesley, son of Abram Tietsort, Jr., November, 1842, and in 1849 adopted Almira Hall, now Mrs. M. C. Williamson, of Colorado, both of whom rise up and call him blessed.
