Wilfred Peters Collection

Name: Town - Location: WinterQuarters/WilfredPeters/ Residence of John Pitman and the meetinghouse where the bodies were prepared for burial. Photo scanned from the J.W. Dilley book, "History of the Scofield Mine Disaster".

Name: Town - Location: WinterQuarters/WilfredPeters/ Here is two photos of the Winter Quarters mine fans many years after the closing of the mine. Have you heard stories about the Winter Quarters mine being haunted? - You can read one version of the story on Seeks Ghosts Blog of Virginia Lamkin Then you can read "The Rest of the Story" by Wilfred Peters. In 1951 Reino Erkkila and I experienced this experience. We were back from high school one October and went hunting and exploring up Winter Quarters. We had left quite late in the day and decided to go up to the head waters since there was where the BIG BUCKs were so by the time we got back down the canyon it was dark, cold and windy. We could hear the noise he (Troy Taylor) described. It was kind of low talking that turned to a moaning as we got closer. We also thought it was some one camping in the canyon. We lucked out because it didn't stop and when we got to the Winter Quarters old mine fan we could see the source of the noise. Even then it kind of gave us shivers. The cold had contracted the fan allowing it to move a bit and the wind moved the rotor ever so little then as it moved the scraping metal would amplify through that bellows. So here is your Ghost Photos. I took it a number of years later.

	Name: Town & People - Location: ClearCreek/WP/FrankLizzieKetola This is the photo of a widow and her son taken by a local 1900 Scofield photographic studio Louis (Lewis). The father shows up in Dilley's book as Alex Ketola a single Finn. The photo was probably taken in 1900 because she was in Red Lodge by 1901. The Father's name was Franze Alexander Ketola and the little boy was named after him. The mothers name was Lizzie Peltomaki and was born in Toysa Finland 1877. She immigrated to the USA and met Frank Ketola (a sailor) in New York and they had the little boy in Brooklyn 21 Aug 1898. I don't know if they formally married. Some how they made their way to Scofield and Frank was killed in the Scofield mine Disaster. Lizzie and her son left Utah and went to live in Red Lodge Montana, and outlived four more husbands. Her third marriage ties to me through my grandmother's brother.
