• Notes

  Arrived in Brainerd in 1889. •See James McCabe. •See Dr. James L. Camp. •See Henry Drapeau. C. E. PEABODY. Peabody, the implement man, is located at 216 South Seventh street, where he carries a complete line of creamery supplies, farm implements, light and heavy harness. The best makes only are handled, such as the De Laval cream separators, the Geiser Manufacturing Co.'s threshing machines, the La Crosse Implement Co.'s farm implements, wagons and buggies, the Loye Saddlery Co.'s harness. Mr. Peabody always carries the very best line that he can find, and they have to be good to come up to the Peabody standard. He just recently sold two of the largest De Laval cream separators in the county, one to Dr. Camp and the other to J. M. Elder. Mr. Peabody has been a resident of this city for twenty-eight years. He was in the grocery and meat business for a great many years, and has been for twenty-four years located in the same business block. Mr. Peabody entered into the farm implement business in 1902. And in the eight years he has been in this business he has made a success, and this has been by the fair treatment and business policy, and the knowledge of the people who traded with him, that when they bought of C. E. Peabody that they were getting the best on the market and that is the Peabody standard. (Special Publication, 1910, p. 29, Brainerd Tribune, A. J. Halsted, Editor and Publisher) CHARLES E. PEABODY DIED THIS MORNING _____ Resident of Brainerd Over Forty Years Passed Away After a Long Illness _____ LEAVES WIFE AND DAUGHTER _____ Was Identified With the Active Busi- ness Life of Brainerd in Many Lines Charles E. Peabody, a resident of Brainerd for over forty years, passed away at 1:30 o'clock Monday morning, after a long illness. Mr. Peabody was born at Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, June 22nd, 1856. He was married to Miss Viola Baker in 1879 at Janesville, Minnesota. Mrs. Peabody was a sister of the late Howard Baker, of Brainerd. The Peabody's came to Brainerd in 1882, where he was first associated with Fred Bradbury in a grocery store where the Lyceum theatre now stands. Later Mr. Peabody went into partnership with Mr. Baker in the bakery and meat business, known as Peabody & Baker. Twenty-four years ago Mr. Peabody started the implement business which bore his name until three years ago, when he sold it to Hagberg Brothers. Since that time he has lived retired. Mr. Peabody is survived by his wife and one daughter, Mrs. William Spencer of this city, a brother, F. C. Peabody, residing at Merrifield and a sister, Mrs. A. L. Price, living at Janesville, Minn. He was a member of the local Elks, in which organization he has always been very active. He also held membership in the Woodmen and the Workmen lodges. In the Elks lodge Mr. Peabody served as trustee and also for many years on the sick and relief committee. He was recently elected a member of the new building committee. He took a deep interest in all his committee work and did much for the up building of the lodge. It was only when illness made him take to his bed that he had to cease his attendance. Mr. Peabody joined the Elks December 20, 1902, about four months after the lodge was organized. He was of a kindly nature and in an unobtrusive way did many deeds of charity and helpfulness. He had a wide acquaintance in the city and especially in the country, where on account of previous business connections, he has many dealings with farmers. The date of the funeral has not yet been set. Mrs. Peabody has expressed a wish that Elks will act and has already asked that among those named be C. D. Johnson, Fred Allison and Con O'Brien, life-long friends of the deceased. (Brainerd Daily Dispatch, 11 August 1924, p. 7, c. 1)
