This is probably John Peter Falkenberg.He was called Pete or J.P.He and his wife, Barbara were a part of the colony sponsored by the German Colonization Society and led by Carl Wulsten that originally settled the Wet Mountain Valley.They came West with the colony on their honeymoon, and arrived in the Wet Mountain Valley in August, 1870.They homesteaded and built the first log cabin in the valley (recently called the John Knuth ranch) and lived in it until 1876.
He was my great grandfather.
