Description	:	CORNELIUS T. PEET Born in Cattaraugus county, N. Y., December 4, 1822, and was reared to farming and hotel life. His education was acquired at the common school of his district, and in them was well taught in the rudimentary branches of English literature, which were afterward supplemented by a higher class of studies.

His education was acquired at the common school of his district, and in them was well taught in the rudimentary branches of English literature, which were afterward supplemented by a higher class of studies. After coming to Iowa, he studied law, was admitted to the bar, and, as there were but few lawyers in his vicinity, did considerable practice before the justices of the peace, although he did not give up his farming for the practice. The library of his father, who was a lawyer of some local note, had been within his reach, and this fact led him to study and practice the legal profession for a time. In July, 1842, Cornelius T. Peet married Miss Mary Boggs, daughter of Robert and Louisa Boggs, natives of Onondaga county, N. Y. She died in January, 1869, at the age of forty-seven years, and in April, 1870, Mr. Peet took for his second wife Miss Hester A. Windsor, a native of New York State, born in March, 1841, and a daughter of Ebed and Mary Windsor, natives of Massachusetts. In 1864 Mr. Peet enlisted for one hundred days in Company E, Forty-fourth Iowa infantry, and served in Tennessee and Mississippi, chiefly guarding railroads and bridges, but took no active part in any battle. After a service of one hundred and twenty days he received his discharge at Davenport, Iowa, and again sought his home. A republican in politics, he was a representative from his county to the first convention his party ever held in the state, and has since filled numerous offices of trust and honor, from road overseer to county sheriff (from 1855 to 1857), and also represented the county in the state legislature for the fourteenth and fifteenth general assemblies. He has done most of the assessing for forty years, and was one of the three commissioners appointed by the legislature to lay out the road from Guttenberg to Independence. Mr. Peet is a high-toned and genial gentleman, and is possessed of all the hospitable instincts characteristic of his race, and his latch-string ever hangs outside his door as a welcome invitation to the passerby to enter his domicile.
