Hold Funeral Services For Stuyvesant Peabody HAWTHORNE, Cicero, 111., June 8.— Funeral services were held this morning for Stuyvesant Jack Peabody, Lincoln Fields Jockey Club president who died yesterday after an illness that lasted more than a month. The millionaire coal operator and sportsman who aided Col. Mat Winn in revising the thoroughbred sport in Illinois by lending his full support to the Lincoln Fields venture, was laid to rest in a private vault after the ceremony. Later his body will be placed next to that of his father at the family plot at Calvary Cemetery, located along the lake front at Evans-ton, 111. Because of the quick burial, the services were restricted to the family and close friends of the sportsman. Col. Matt J. Winn was among those who paid tribute to his friend and business associate at the ceremony. "Mr. Peabody was a great friend and a true sportsman," the aged colonel said. "His help in bringing back thoroughbred racing to Illinois on a large scale will never be adequately appreciated, and his many charitable deeds, especially in the promotion of youth organizations, has done much for Chicago."
