Memoirs of Mabel Skeels: "There was a war in Europe and they all got so poor. Peter's brother had to pay 70 cents for a rat to cook to eat. There was no money and no food. So they put the boy and girl on a big boat and sent them to America. Those kids almost starved to death on the trip over here. Peter Halter, 11, and his sister, Sara, 12, came from France. When they landed in New York City, they had $1.00 between them. They had to eat lunch. They didn't know a soul, couldn't speak a word of English, poor people. They just stood there and didn't know what to do. The Rohrer family were some of Peter's relatives. Earlier French people. They came and rescued the two. Took them into their home. Then they went to Iowa to live."

Note: Mabel Skeel's memoirs state that he arrived with his sister "Sara" who was 12, 1 year older than Peter. Sara is not identified in any records found to date but the description may fit his sister Margaret.

Notes of Pat Rafferty: "The story of their trip and Margaret's life is recorded in the Blink Family records. They started on what proved to be a three month trip across the Atlantic. They sailed on a cattle boat and were required to furnish their own food. At one point of the crossing they remained stationary for six weeks because there was not wind to fill the sails. They landed at New Orleans and took a boat up the Mississippi River, going to Otawa, Illinois to the Retz family, as their mother was related to Mrs Edward Retz (Rosalie Roher Retz). One record said they landed in New York with only $1.00 between them and neither could speak English. Margaret worked as a servant girl for fifty cents a week in a home where she could have Peter with her."
