Peters Family Not Always in Agreement with One Another : a grandson refutes his grandfather Leo Peters in Calvin Chimes 1989
APPRECIATING the LEO PETERS 2 FAMILY...because my late grandfather Leo Peters was the first to trademark the "Butterball" name (which he later sold to the turkey company ie armour, but retained the rights to use the name for his butter factory, ie butterball farms,) and was also involved in various meat endeavors, and my memories of Thanksgiving revolve around a big meal at the "butterball mansion" I am adding a thanksgiving section to this blog!

RIP MVG ❤️🙏✝️ : Martha Van Genderen October 16, 1937 — October 18, 2022
In addition to the below information she was also a graduate of Grand Rapids Christian High and also she and her husband were on the Fuller Semimary Board of Trustees for many years.
" Martha Van Genderen
October 16, 1937
— October 18, 2022
Jackson, WY
A Wonderful Wyoming Woman passed last week:
Martha Van Genderen died on October 18, 2022, two days after her 85th birthday in St John's ICU surrounded by her husband and about 15 of St. John's finest Doctors and Nurses. She died of a ruptured aortic aneurism.
Martha would be embarrassed if she knew her family was writing a memorial about her and mortified if she thought it would be in a newspaper. Martha was a very private person.
When thinking of words or phrases to describe Martha words like kind, generous, selfless, thoughtful, patient, energetic, peacemaker, athletic, analytical, logical, willing to tackle any project, animal and nature lover, great skier and hiker, extraordinary mother and faithful companion come to mind.
Martha was born in Chicago, Il on October 16, 1937, to Leo Peters and Helen Mills Peters. She was the oldest of 8 sisters and one brother. She grew up in Evanston, Il and attended Evanston Township High School. She graduated from Calvin College (Grand Rapids, MI) in 3 years with a major in Mathematics and minors in Philosophy, French and Chemistry. Martha was a class Vice President and sang in the Radio Choir. Martha next attended Harvard University where she received a Master of Arts and Teaching in Mathematics.
While at Calvin College, Martha met her husband Warren Van Genderen They married upon Martha's graduation from Harvard. She then proceeded to teach high school math while Warren finished graduate school. Martha loved teaching and thought it was the most honorable of all professions. She innovated many programs over the years including "Math for Moms" (for Mons that were terrified of math), "School in the Exploratorium" (San Francisco), and "How to do well on your SAT Exam". (Martha taught and tutored numerous students who were National Merit Scholars) Martha taught in many school districts around the country depending on where her husband was working. Newton and Arlington, Massachusetts, Boulder, Colorado, The Katherine Branson School, Ross, California, Bellevue Christian school, Bellevue, Washington and Jackson High School, Jackson, Wyoming.
Martha was an amazing Mom. She and Warren had 4 children: Todd, Craig, Eric, and Courtney. Martha never missed a chance to teach lessons from daily life. She was always the first to volunteer for Girl Scout leader, Cub Scout leader, Children church choir, "Expanding your Horizons" and a junior high school band because the school had no music program. She drove boys to the San Francisco Boys Chorus for years. She had an active interest in each of her kid's activities and encouraged them to participate and always do their best. She had a "Mom's" love in her heart for each of her children until her dying day.
Grandchildren were icing on the cake. She followed their lives and activities with the same zeal as her own children always looking for opportunities to show them new things or books and ready to take them to new places particularly science museums.
When Martha discovered Wyoming, she knew she had found her special place on Earth. She loved the mountain peaks and vistas, the wildlife, the flora and the fauna, most of which she knew by name. If she did not know its name, she would immediately look it up in a guidebook. She loved her own Wyoming lifestyle. She could fix almost anything. (Change car headlights and taillights, change car tires, fixed light switches, rewire lamps, hang wallpaper, paint walls or lay tile or carpet.) She always kept a toolbox in her car.
Martha loved working in the yard, in her garden, and shoveling snow. (Yes, that is true. She found it therapeutic. She refused to use the snow blower her husband bought her for her birthday—maybe not the best idea for a women's birthday present)
Martha could fly an airplane, drive a snowmobile, ride a bicycle, drive a water ski boat, paddle a canoe and kayak, or row a river boat. She was a superb sailor and expert canoeist. She took kids to the Northern Boundary Waters in Minnesota.
Martha was an excellent skier. She could ski any slope with great form. She also did a lot of cross-country skiing, particularly in GTNP. Martha was still actively skiing at 85. She climbed the Grand Teton with Bill Briggs as her guide. She hiked in the GTNP on a regular basis each summer. When her children were younger, she took them backpacking throughout the Jackson Hole area.
Writing was another skill at which Martha excelled. She was a sometimes poet, oil paint artist, calligrapher, needle pointer, knitter, and piano player. Martha had an excellent alto voice and sang in many choirs starting in high school. Martha loved to read and finished about one book a week. Her bedtime reading was the Economist.
Martha volunteered wherever she lived. In Williamstown, Massachusetts she was a docent at the Clark Art Institute as well as doing "Reading for the Blind" In San Francisco she started "School in the Exploratorium". In Bozeman she volunteered at the Montana Intercountry Adoption Agency. In Jackson, Wyoming she was a docent at the National Wildlife Art Museum for twenty years. She also volunteered at JH Therapeutic Riding. She was an election judge for years always looking forward to seeing friends on election day. Martha was head of the local support committee for A Christian Ministry in the National Parks.
Martha was a wonderful entertainer and an unflappable chef. Her lasagna was famous. She always had one in the freezer ready to pull out on a moment's notice if she had to feed one or twenty.
Martha was a wonderful wife and companion. She was loyal, faithful and 100% reliable. Martha always made sure she gave more that 50% to any relationship. She and her husband Warren had a warm and wonderful marriage of 63 years. They made a great team and loved to work on building their family into a loving functional unit. Martha ran the family foundation and the family limited partnership.
Most of all, Martha was a faithful follower of Jesus Christ. She loved attending the Presbyterian Church in Jackson Hole where she participated in the Women's Tuesday Bible class for years. Martha is an Elder in the Presbyterian Church. Martha told her husband within an hour of her dying that she "had no fear of dying" She believed and held close to her heart the teachings and promises of Jesus Christ regarding living in this life and in the life to come. Promises that we can all take close to our hearts.
Martha was a truly unique and special person. A celebration of her life will be held at the Presbyterian Church of Jackson Hole on Saturday, October 29, 2022, at 2:30 in the afternoon. The service will be live streamed on U Tube. To view: Go to U Tube. Then to: PCJH Jackson Wyoming
Martha will be buried in the family plot on Snow King Mountain.

Peters Family Not Always in Agreement with One Another :
a grandson refutes his grandfather Leo Peters in Chimes 1989
(Phil Kok is the son of Jim & Linda Kok. Linda was one of Leo Peters six daughters from his first marriage. Linda married Jim Kok, a Calvin College basketball star in the 50's who later became a CRC pastor. Linda attended GR Christian High. Jim attended Holland Christian, although he also lived in Bellflower CA during his elementary school years, being the son of a CRC pastor as well). Leo Peters also had 3 children from his 2nd marriage, after his 1st wife Helen died at a young age.
The children of Jim & Linda also grew up mostly in Grand Rapids & 3 of the 4 attended GRCH at the same time that the children of Leo Peters 2nd marriage were there also. Mark, Ani, & Teri were the 3 kids from Leo's 2nd marriage.
After GRCH all 4 of Jim & Linda's kids went on to Calvin College and Phil was there at the time that his grandfather Leo Peters began his attack on Calvin College and Howard Van Til re the book "The 4th Day" that questioned the timeline of the Biblical creation story ..
Around this time Phil penned this short letter to the Chimes .

"Ok, now let's talk about Butterball Ham. In 2014, the Joseph Sanders Meat company of Custer, Michigan ("Sanders"), applied to the United States Trademark and Patent Office ("USPTO") to register BUTTERBALL HAM for ham products. Around the same time, Sanders also started snapping up domain names with the BUTTERBALL name in them, and even applied to the Michigan Secretary of State to change its d/b/a to the "Butterball Ham Company."
"The Origins of Our Favorite Nostalgic Thanksgiving Brands "
The late Leo Peters attended Calvin College. His son now owns & operates Butterball Farms which makes 'fancy butter'' including the little patties provided with hotcakes at McDonalds.
There is a special 'collection' of Peters papers at the Calvin Library. All the children of Leo & Helen Peters as well as his 2nd wife Nancy attended Calvin University as well.
Their names are Martha, Linda, Barbara, Diana (Di), Sandra (San), Andrea (Ani), Teresa (Teri), and the only boy, Mark. One daughter, late Brenda, did not attend college (she was born with downs syndrome).
"The next owner, Leo Peters, sold the name "Butterball" to Swift and Co., which would come under ConAgra ownership in 1990. The company did not become the largest turkey producer in the country (approximately one billion each year) until 2006, when it transferred ownership to Carolina Turkeys. But what really made Butterball synonymous with Thanksgiving was the launch of the Turkey Talk-Line, .."

Every year around this time Leo Peters gets mentioned again. Here's a new one: "How Butterball Is Getting a Turkey on Your Table for Zoom Thanksgiving | "
Every year around this time Leo Peters ('grandpa') gets mentioned again. Here's a new one "How Butterball Is Getting a Turkey on Your Table for Zoom Thanksgiving | " "In 1951, food-industry researcher and entrepreneur Leo Peters was casting about for a name for the Grand Rapids, Michigan, company he had formed to develop a yellower margarine and heartier turkey breed. Stumbling on the Butterball trademark, which worked for both sides of his business, Peters bought up the rights. But a few years later, he decided his future lay solely in butter, and in the late 1950s, he leased (and later sold) the name Butterball to meat manufacturer Swift for its turkey business, marking the beginning of Butterball turkey appearing in supermarkets. (Peters retained the right to use the name Butterball for his thriving butter business, Butterball Farms, which to this day
sells actual balls of butter, among other items.)
Since then, the Butterball ..."

Huh? "Have a selfish Thanksgiving - "
"The young and healthy men resented working uncompensated for other people. The strong reaped nothing from any extra work they did, and so had the exact same amount as those less fit for work. "This was thought injustice," according to Bradford. The women, called upon to provide "service for other men, as dressing their meat, washing their clothes, etc. they deemed it a kind of slavery, neither could their husbands brook it."

this is the ORIGINAL "BUTTERBALL" PATENT APPLICATION by Ada Walker in 1939 from whom Leo Peters bought the rights to the name & used for his BOUTIQUE BUTTER (which is also used by McDonalds for the hotcake breakfast) .
Butterball Farms in Grand Rapids MI continues to sell the butter and uses the name Butterball, but it is more commonly associated with the Butterball Turkey who purchased the rights to use the name from Leo Peters, but a deal was made that Peters could continue forever to use the name with his butter.
