Shaver, F. A., Arthur P. Rose, R. F. Steele, and A. E. Adams, compilers. "An Illustrated History of Central Oregon." ("Embracing Wasco, Sherman, Gilliam, Wheeler, Crook, Lake, & Klamath Counties") Spokane, WA: Western Historical Publishing Co., 1905. p. 499. LOUIE L. PEETZ was born in Snohomish, Washington, on January 30, 1877, and now resides about two and one-half miles west from Moro, being one of the most extensive grain raisers of Sherman county. His parents, Carl and Catherine (Schott) Peetz, are mentioned elsewhere in this volume. Mr. Peetz owns in his home estate, eight hundred acres of good wheat land and rents twelve hundred acres besides of military and other land. He has the entire amount in cultivation and produces many thousands of bushels of the cereals annually. He is a thrifty, wise and progressive farmer and manages his large interests in an excellent manner. His education was received in the various places where the family resided before they came to Sherman county. And since that time, he has been closely identified with the interests of the county, while also laboring efficiently to gain his splendid holding of property. Mr. Peetz has not only achieved the success that was to be desired in both these lines has also so conducted himself that he has won hosts of friends and is one of the popular and leading young men of the county. On December 31, 1901, at Moro, Oregon, Mr. Peetz married Ora Barnum, a sister of the Barnum brothers, mentioned elsewhere in this volume. Politically, Mr. Peetz is a stanch and active Republican, although he never aspires to office for himself. He is well posted on the questions of the day, progressive and public minded and seeks diligently to bring about those ends and measures which are for the best interests of the county. He and his wife are popular people and command the respect of an extended acquaintance. ******************* Submitted to the Oregon Bios. Project in October 2010 by Diana Smith.
