Endi- cott and Marianne Cabot (Lee) Peabody, was born in Salem, Essex county, May 31, 1 85 7 ; His paternal ancestors were among the earliest settlers of the colony. John Endi- cott, the. first governor of the Massachu- setts Bay Colony, settled in 1628 in Naum- keag, which afterwards was known as Salem. The father of the subject of this sketch, S. E. Peabody, removed to London in 187 1, where he became a member of the bank- ing-house of J. S. Morgan & Co. Mr. Peabody was mainly educated in Eng- land. He first attended Cheltenham Col- lege, and from this went to Cambridge in 1876, where he was matriculated a mem- ber of Trinity College, from which he re- ceived the degree of LL. B. in 18S0, and the degree of LL. M. in 1884. Mr. Peabody returned to this country in 1880, and entered the house of Lee, Hig- ginson & Co., founded by his maternal grandfather. Later, having become inter- ested in the work of the Protestant Epis- copal church, of which he became a com- municant, he determined to enter the ministry, and in accordance with his reso- lution, he began his studies at the Episco- pal theological school in Cambridge, from which he was graduated in 1884, receiving the degree of B. D. On the same day, June 18, he was ordained to the diaconate by the Rt. Rev. Benjamin H. Paddock, D. D., Bishop of Massachusetts. Previous to this, in 1882, he had gone to Arizona, where he engaged for a short time in missionary work. Under his care and direction, a parish was organized and a church built in Tombstone, Arizona, at that time one of the principal mining towns of that territory. Having completed the work which he had undertaken, he now returned to the East and resumed his studies in Cambridge. Deeply interested in educational work, he established the school for boys at Groton, in 1884. In this work he has been emi- nently successful.
