Petrus was a farmer. He was called up for service in the army in 1858. Whether he had to actually serve depended on the result of a lottery. He drew 41, an unlucky number and he was found suitable for military service. Worker Joannes Francies Masco, son of Charles François Masco and Eugenie De Vreese, was payed to replace him and on 4/5/1858 he was incorporated in the 2nd line regiment.
