Was the oldest son of Jim and Martha J. Peters.
Loving Oscar Peters was the first son born to John Clark Peters, and Charlotte Foreman Peters. He was also born in Oak Bowery, Alabama. He went to the 6th grade. I have very fond memories of him. He was very tall, slender, and had silky hair. He was a Veteran of World War I. He married Mary Rosa Johnson on October 2, 1918 in Birmingham, Jefferson County, Alabama. I do recall that he lived for many years in Birmingham, Alabama with his wife, Mary Rosa (Johnson) Peters, and died and was buried there in Birmingham. He worked there in the Steel Mills and as a coal miner at Mary Lee Mines in Birmingham. Oscar was 79 years old when he died.

This is my mother, the late Hattie Lee Peters Clark. Mama was born May 5, 1915, in Oak Bowery, Alabama, to Mary Willis Peters who was the daughter of John Clark Peters and granddaughter of Jim and Sarah Peters. She always said she did not have a father, though we all know she did. According to her application for marriage license, she stated that her father was James Sherriell. I am SO GRATEFUL TO MY COUSIN BEATRICE COLEY, for providing me with the documentation that verifies for me, who my grandfather was…. Thank you Bea, for finally putting my questions to rest.
In 1948, my mother married Wilkie Clark, who was born in Carrollton, Carroll County, Georgia, but his family roots were in Randolph County, Alabama. I was the only child born to them… The ONLY CHILD either of them had in the world.
Hattie Lee Peters Clark was one phenomenal woman. I have managed to maintain a presence for her on the internet. You are welcome to view my page about my mother at this link.
