Amyle Peterman

Amyle Arnold Peterman, a life long resident of Cleveland was born April 14, 1928 in Keystone, Oklahoma to Arnold and Blanche Nellie (Boothe) Peterman. As a young boy, Amyle grew up in the Keystone area attending the Rigsby Grade School. He then began high school in Cleveland where he graduated in 1947. After high school, Amyle continued to help his family on the farm and after several years, he gained employment with C.E. Natco in West Tulsa. On August 11, 1951, Amyle was united in marriage to Wanda Jean Jones and to this union are two children Jerald and Marie.

After their marriage, Amyle and Wanda have continued to reside in the Keystone area on the original family farm. Amyle continued to work for C.E. Natco until his retirement in 1981, after over 30 years as a welder. After his retirement, Amyle began to do what he loved most hunting, fishing, taking walks, working in the garden, raising cattle and farming. This gave Amyle the opportunity to spend countless hours visiting with his family and friends. Retirement gave Amyle and Wanda quality time to spend traveling with his brother and sister throughout the United States. The grandchildren have stated, ìWe will always remember Grandpa rocking in his chair singing to us old country songs.î Amyle was a charter member of the Keystone Baptist Church as well as a member of the Steel Workers Union.
