Vera Peterman of Bradford drove the horse-drawn dairy wagon for seven years. She was the first of four Peterman girls to do so in the 35 years the dairy was running. She married Melville Williams of Tottenham. He was a blacksmith around Tottenham, as was his father Henry. The blacksmith shop was by the railroad track (now gone) north of #9 at Wolf Rd.
