From the Marion, IA Register 17 August 1903

Rodolphus Peet, one of the first students at Cornell College in Mount Vernon, Iowa and the founder of the Adelphian Literary Society there, died in Escondido, CA on July 23rd. He left Iowa for the west about 20 year ago in search of a dryer climate on account of asthmatic troubles. He was a good citizen, a man of more than average ability and the news of his death brings sorrow to his old time friends and especially to his college classmates.

Thanks to CJeanlogy for the article.

Although this article states he died in Escondido he actually died in Coronado where he was stricken while visiting his daughter Myrtle. His permanent residence was in Escondido on 10 acres which he purchased in 1888.
