Francis C. Peabody

Dale and Bumgardner Payroll. Teamster Francis Peabody was born in Wisconsin and moved to Minnesota in 1895.

Most of the workers who constructed the Minnesota Capitol belonged to unions. A specific union affiliation has not been found for Marquart, but other Teamsters were organized in St. Paul at the time the Capitol was built, so it's probable he was a union member, like fellow Capitol team driver and Teamsters Local 120 founder John Geary.
