Robert Peterson (Roy's brother) was adopted by Martin R. Peterson, a Swedish Emigrant. Martin R. was in the tailoring trade and taught young Robert how to run a tailor shop. How do I know this? Robert Peterson and his brother, Roy Peterson (my grandfather) show up in Madison County, Arkansas in the late 1930s and early 1940s. Robert Peterson starts up a tailor shop and keeps the family name as the company name.
Note: At some point, Robert Peterson changed his name to William Robert Arnold Peterson (see Robert Peterson's Family History post) Notice that the article states that Robert came from Versailles, MO where his adopted father died in 1935.
