Mertz, Peter

Was born in Auglaise county Ohio, in the year 1851. When he was young, the family removed to Hancock county, where Peter was reared on a farm. In 1875, he came to Mille Lacs Lake, Crow Wing county, and kept a trading post there for two years, coming thence to Brainerd {1877], where he now carries on the business of a livery stable. He has been Sheriff of Crow Wing county since January, 1880. (History of the Upper Mississippi Valley, Winchell, Neill, Williams and Bryant, Minnesota Historical Company, Minneapolis: 1881; p. 650)
