Obituary-After a lingering illness of seven months Peter Creager passed away at the home of his son-in-law Joseph Albrecht in South McCook, Saturday, July 19, 1913. He was afflicted with dropsy and suffered a great deal before death came, but he was well taken care of by his relatives and everything done to relieve the suffering that willing hands could do. Charlie, his son, took his wife west the day before he died to have her in the mountain air as prescribed by the doctor, he being unable to get home to the funeral. The other sons were so far away and some in bad health that they too could not be here. He was born Feb. 16, 1831 at Hagerstown, Md. Grew to manhood at Cincinnati, Ohio, and married Isabelle Harley; to this union one child, a boy, was born, now living is Missouri; his mother died when he was an infant.

Monday 21 July 1913. The burial records at Riverside Cemetery show his name as George Peter CREAGER.
