Peter M W Verhoeven born 1840 in Netherlands went to the US sometime in the early 1860's. In 1864 he joined the Freemasons. On this page, relating to an old artifact he is mentioned as the donor, the bottom half of the page seems to have his history in the Freemasons - was this a fairly standard membership, or did he do reasonably well?
I haven't yet been able to find much about him, although I did find his enlistment into the Army, and a couple of censuses. He seems to have been a clerk in the Health Dept.
