MONDAY FEB. 18 1946 The sad news came that Georgia Peek was killed about 1 yesterday afternoon in an automobile collision near Oceanside, California. She ws 72. The Dispatch says in tonights paper - "Mrs Peek was one of Moline's kindliest women, and her great generosity was known olny as it was told by others, many of them persons she aided in her quiet, simple way. She was a devout member of Christ Episcopal Church and was one of it's most tireless workers, as well as a generous contributor. No clood relatives survive. Survivors realted by marriage include Burton F. Peek.... In afternoon flew in the John Deere plane for an hour looking for possible sights for an experimental farm. It is very probable that the present farm will be sued for a housing prospect. The best place seemed to be the Crocker farm on the road to Coal Calley. It has both rough and level land and seems to have plenty of acerage. Dont know whether it can be bought. Also some land on the road to the County Farm seemed satisfactory, alse some land near Homewood Farm.
