PEABODY, Warren Maxwell, inventor, was born in Chicago, Ill., Aug. 13, 1894, son of Hiram Bell (above) and Philena Ricker (Maxwell) Peabody. He was educated at the Harvard private school, Chicago, and the Mercersburg Academy, Mercersburg, Pa. He was a born scholar but would not attend college. Always somewhat of a dreamer, he was never greatly interested in business activities, nor did he care for society. He was of a scientific turn of mind, and conceived many original ideas, being the inventor of a wheel and tire for an automobile. He was fond of swimming, aviation and polo, and was a member of the Chicago Athletic Association. His favorite pursuit was study, and he was particularly fond of drawing. Possessed of a strong individuality, Mr. Peabody was characterized by a courteous manner, genial disposition and irresistible mirth, and was beloved by strangers as well as friends. He was moved by charitable impulses always; was never known to speak harshly of his fellow men, neither would he listen to a harmful word from others. Of an artistic temperament, he loved life in all its phases; was full of vitality, and while deeply attached to his home, he was equally fond of adventure. His was a noble spirit, the sweetness and richness of which will long remain a monument to his memory. He was unmarried, and died in Chicago, Ill., Nov. 11, 1915.
