XX Mary Louise Peebles was the daughter of Elias Ripley Parmelee and Eleanor Allen, descendants of early settlers of the town of Lansingburgh (now part of Troy), New York. Peebles was born at Lansingburgh on December 10, 1833, and completed her education there seventeen years later at the Lansingburgh Academy. She married banker Anthony Augustus Peebles (1822-1905) on July 7, 1862, and eventually became the mother of two sons who did not survive infancy. Her aunt, Mary Eleanor Parmelee, was known for being an early love interest of the writer Herman Melville before she chose to marry instead a local merchant. Mary Louise Peebles died on April 25, 1915. She had been a lifelong resident of Lansingburgh, New York. Writing career: Mary Louise Peebles' book The Little Captain, published around 1861, was the first of a number of children's stories she would author over the following twenty years or so. In 1877 she released The Magnet Stories, a collection of children's yarns that included Drifting and Steering, One Day's Weaving, Archie's Shadow and John Jack.

In a minute, with a little sigh, she had turned back, and again taken up the work that had fallen in her lap. "Bettine, Bettine," again cried the persistent voice. "I am coming over the fence. If the mountain won't come to Mahomet, why, Mahomet must go to the mountain." " Do go, Tiny," cried Bob, uneasily, looking up from the old chair he was mending.…
