Ernst Peterson-Särgava
Died in 1958
Karl Ernst Peterson, who took the name Särgava in 1935, was born on 29 April 1868 in the parish of Vana-Vändra, in Pärnumaa, the son of the schoolteacher of the Kadaka school. A graduate of the Tartu teachers' seminary in 1889, he taught at Sindi, Põltsamaa, Kose-Uuemõisa and Rakvere, ran schools, then settled in 1906 in Tallinn, where he taught into old age. His years in the countryside gave him his material: debt, brandy and the grip of the pastor. Made a writer of the people in 1957, he died in Tallinn on 12 April 1958, aged eighty-nine.
