Angela Marsh Peterson was an extraordinary individual who encountered nearly every experience available to a twentieth century marriage, motherhood, divorce, death of a child, running a business, and teaching school. She watched Haley’s comet with her mother in 1910 and heard about the tragedy of the Titanic. She experienced the Depression and both World Wars. The daughter of a state senator, she would grow to survive rape, a nervous breakdown, and a crippling illness. In time, she would serve in the military, organize a travel company, create one of the first senior citizen centers in the country, and found the Angela Peterson Doll and Miniature Museum in High Point, North Carolina. This is Angela’s remarkable life story.
