A Record to Be Proud of.

Mr. Henry Peacock. formerly of
Gardiner, now of this city, has rea-
sons for being proud of his family and
it happened this way. Mr.. Peacock,
who was a corporal in Co. A of the
gath Me- Vols served in the Civil war
and was in it at the finish. His only
son, Bertrand s. Peacock. was naval
reserve instructor at New London
during the great war. Bertrand had
four sons in the war, for as you see it
runs in the family. Dean was the
doctors orderly. Roland went over
seas and came back with a captains
commission and on the generals staff
in Division number 5. Dorian was in
the navy and was second engineer,
Russell was overseas in the navy in
which he is still serving. at present at
the naval academy at Annapolis.
There is a great grandson in the fam
lily. Dean Peacock. Jr, who is prin
cipal of the Oakland High school.
Naturally Mr.. Peacock is proud Of
this record. He bears his eighty years
lightly and possibly looks ahead to
having great. great-grandsons to help
him celebrate his centennial.
