Peter Telder immigrated as a boy with his family to the United States from The Netherlands in 1867. Peter’s father had his own grocery business.


Dina Van Doorn confirmed her faith in Christ on February 9, 1874 at the First Reformed Church of Rochester, New York.


Peter became a US citizen in 1881.


Peter Telder and Dina Van Doorn were married on July 13, 1884. Peter worked as a clerk for John A Brummelaar, his uncle, a grocer.  By 1886, Peter had returned to the family grocery business, Telder Bros. Grocery.


Peter later served as a clerk in the Circuit Court of Judge William B. Brown for 27 years.


In 1893, a group of young people, including Peter and Dina Telder, approached the consistory of Third Reformed Church requesting English speaking services. The consistory granted their request for a two month trial period. The English services were so successful that a separate church, Bethany Reformed, was formed.


The Telders were charter members of Bethany Reformed Church in Grand Rapids where Peter served as an elder for 47 years. By his own admission, his church work took priority over all other activities.


The Telders resided on Dwight Ave. Their residences included 4 Dwight Ave. and 47 Dwight Ave (later re-numbered to be 107 Dwight Avenue).


Dina Telder died at her home on September 29, 1908 at the age of 53.


Jeannette Telder was a deaf mute. She was sent away to Alabama to learn how to sign. She later married a man who was also a deaf mute. Their two sons were normal. Tragically she died quite young when she was hit by a street car in Birmingham, Alabama.
