Archives"Mel's Orange Peanut"="Angeluma Peterson"
in reply to a message by Mel
Your Peanut may be a mixed-breed beagle in this life, but in a previous existence she was a child born in the year 1880 to pioneer Peter T. Peterson (a blacksmith by trade who had emigrated to Michigan from Denmark in 1868) and his new wife Georgie (native to Michigan).
Sadly, it was a difficult birth for Georgie Peterson, and the baby was born not destined to survive. Knowing this, Peter and Georgie named their infant "Angeluma" -- which is a blending of the word "angel" and the Latin word "luma", meaning "light". She was their little angel of light, who brightened their world for an all-too-brief period.
You can verify the existence of the pioneering Peterson Family of 19th century Michigan by going to this website:

Little Angeluma is mentioned there as the sole child of the Peterson's, as Georgie Peterson was unable to have any more children after that difficult birth. The Petersons never fully recovered from the loss of their first and only child, and so they requested that local historians record them as having one child. Even though little Angeluma didn't live with the Peterson's in an earthly existence, she was still (in their eyes) always with them as their "angel of light".
Over a hundred years passed, before little Angeluma's soul chose to be reborn -- this time, as the little orange dog whom you've named "Peanut". Take good care of Peanut, she's your angel of light now. :)
