Maj. David A. Peloubet Obituary

From The Evening Journal, Oct 11, 1895, Jersey City, NJ:

Maj. David A. Peloubet died at his home, 121 North Street, early yesterday 
morning, from Bright's disease, and paralysis of the heart. The major was born 
at Catskill, Greene County, N.Y., May 14, 1828. His early education was 
received principally from his elder brother, a minister. At the age of 12 he 
came to his state with his parents, and two years later he apprenticed to a 
manufacturing jeweler in Newark, and served his full term. He continued in the 
jewelry business, and eventually became superintendent of Spadone's jewelry 
factory on Railroad Avenue and Barrow Street. Later he owned a jewelry store 
on Newark Avenue, which he conducted until three or four years ago.
The major early in life took an ardent interest in politics, and was an ardent 
republican. He was a charter member of the now defunct Pavonia club, and was 
one of its early presidents. He was also a charter member of the Five Corners 
Republican Club and retained his membership in that club until his death. From 
1876 to 1882, the major was a police justice, having been re appointed in 
1879. In November of the latter year, Maj. Peloubet ran for register against 
Jeremiah B. Cleveland, but was declared defeated. Fifteen or sixteen years 
ago, he was a prominent candidate against John B. Toffey for the republican 
shrievalty nomination, but was beaten and at the subsequent election Toffey 
was made sheriff. In 1886 the major was selected an assemblyman and served one 
term. He was recently appointed a clerk in the county clerk's office. He was 
thoroughly respected by al who knew him.
Maj. Peloubet had an extended war record. He assisted in organizing Company E, 
United States Chasseurs, Sixty-fifth New York Volunteers, early in 1861 and in 
May of that year was commissioned as captain of the company. The major served 
during the Peninsular campaign from April 4 to Aug, 16, 1862 and took part in 
the siege of Yorktown, the Battle of Williamsburg, operations on the 
Chickahominy river, battles of Fair Oaks, Seven Pines, Malvern Hill, Antietam. 
He was also engaged in the operations about Chattanooga, and was in the battle 
of Mission Ridge. He also marched to the relief of Knoxville. He was severely 
wounded at Fair Oaks and Antietam and was honorably discharged Nov. 7, 1862. 
On Sept 4 of the following year he re-entered the service in the Thirty-third 
New Jersey Volunteers and was in command of the camp of detachments or veteran 
reserves at Chattanooga, Tenn. from January, 1864 until the following May. He 
resigned and was honorably discharged Aug. 8, 1864.
All day long many friend of the dead man have called at his late home. The 
funeral services will be held in Simpson M. E. Church next Sunday at 3 P.M.
