After her husband Dr. Wm. O. died, Mary established the town of Peaksville, in Clark Co. Mo, just north of Kahoka.

Mary is buried between 2 of their children, Arthur W. Peake and Adelaide Peake Hill.
Do not know where they buried her rascally husband Dr. Wm. O. Peake, but I be she said not next to me. Must have left his body in Columbus, MS., to a paupers grave, who knows?

AS a side Note and funny: Samuel Sydnor was once the owner of a SIX legged cow. SOURCE: A History of the Valley of Virginia by Samuel Kercheval (1833; 3rd ed. 1902)Chapter VI pg 365. He says:

A COW WITH SIX LEGS.
"Fifteen or sixteen years ago the late Samuel G. Sydnor owned a cow with six perfectly formed legs, which the author frequently saw. It had two extra legs formed on the shoulders, and when it walked these legs made regular motions. They hung over on each side, and were much smaller than the other legs."

**This book is a Great read and full of interesting and unknown facts about very early life in Virginia. It is available online:
