Peter was the 70th most common given name among people in the file born in 1895 — 3,466 carried it. Across all birth years, 199,136 people in the file carry the name; the largest birth cohort of Peters was 1914.
Living to 68
Peter lived to 68. Among the 1,168,776 people in the file born in 1895, half lived past 81 and one in four reached 88; the longest-lived made it to 115. Only deaths reported to Social Security between 1936 and 2011 appear in the file, so members of this cohort who died young are not counted — these are the lifespans of its survivors.
Died the same month
56,977 other deaths in the file were recorded in January 1964 without a recorded day, among them John Schuldt, Mary Fountain and Velma Cain.
