Three's a charm
Snyder County's first triplets graduating from high school

By Asten Smith

MIDDLEBURG -- It was 19 years ago that three Snyder County newborns made local history. Now they're all grown up and looking forward to making a big impact on the county's future.

Ashton, Britton and Camron Peters were born on Dec. 21, 1988 and without even knowing it, they made history by being the first triplets born in the county. Now they are ready to mark another milestone-- they will graduate from Midd-West High School June 6.

Their parents, James and Rozanne Peters, said they planned on having one more child to join their big brothers Brandon, who is now 25 and Aaron, now 23. Instead, they unexpectedly got two more than they bargained for -- something that today Mrs. Peters said she would choose given the opportunity.

"I think I would do it over again." She said. "They're a joy."

Mrs. Peters said when raising the triplets, she and her husband always tried to emphasize the importance of being individuals.

"I always had separate cakes for them," Mrs. Peters said about the triplet's birthday celebrations.

Ashton, Britton and Camron say they are all very different from one another. All three are pursuing different careers.

Ashton attended Midd-West High School as a senior and hopes to pursue a career in childcare services working in a daycare setting with pre-school- to kindergarten-age children.

Britton is looking to pursue a career in woodworking and will also graduate from the Advance Woodworking department at the SUN Area Career and Technology Center in New Berlin.

Camron, who also will graduate from the SUN Area Career and Technology Center, is currently working in the electrical systems field as a part of a cooperative education program.

The three also have very different personalities.

Ashton said she is laid-back and is described by her siblings as outgoing but more shy at times than the other two.

Britton is described as being very outgoing and fun-loving.

Camron is known to his family and friends as being athletic as well as a comedian.

"I'm sure I don't know a lot of things he did," said Mrs. Peters about her son.
