January 29, 1882 – Endicott Peabody

Endicott Peabody was a true renaissance man for his day. On January 29, 1882, he arrived fresh from what is now Boston’s Episcopal Divinity School in Tombstone, Arizona just months after the famed shoot out at the OK Corral. He went on to establish St. Paul’s Episcopal Church (pictured here) in Tombstone and from there back to Boston where he established Groton School for Boys in 1884. He performed the marriage ceremony for one of his Groton students named Franklin Roosevelt. He had a grandson who would be governor of Massachusetts and his great-great-granddaughter is actress Kyra Sedgwick.
