Misc: Auburn Journal (Auburn, CA), Thursday, 3 May 1928: Albert Peat on road to Recovery - Boy has part of Brain Removed and Suffers No Ill Effects: Newcastle, May 3 - Albert Peat, son of Mr. and Mrs. George Peat of this city is in the County Hospital in Auburn, recovering from what at first was thought to be a fatal accident. Albert was at the American River with the Newcastle Boy Scouts last Saturday evening. He started to the river for a pail of water and ran directly between a horse shoe pitching contest, just as he stepped from behind a bush which obstructed his view of the horse shoe pitching he was caught on the front of the head with a heavy shoe. He was rushed to Newcastle where Dr. L. B. Barnes administered first aid. Upon examination at the County Hospital it was found that the horseshoe had penetrated the brain. An operation was necessary to remove part of the skull and part of the brain. Young Peat was conscious from the time he was hit and when he walked into the County Hospital attending physicians were astonished when they saw how serious the wound was. If no complications set in it is reported that he will recover. The removal of part of the brain has not affected his reasoning power in the least.

- Auburn Journal (Auburn, CA), Thursday, 31 July 1969: A Requiem Mass for Albert J. Peat, 53, a well known Auburn carpenter who was killed Monday when he was struck on the head by a tar mop dropped from the roof of the Tahoe Club, will be celebrated at St. Joseph's Church at 10 o'clock this morning. According to Chief Deputy Coroner E. R. Presley and Auburn police, Peat, who was working on the Tahoe Club renovation job for the Lardner and Lardner contracting firm, walked from the building's ground floor door on East Placer Street at the moment a roofer, Billy J. McCormack, 33, of Citrus Heights, dropped the dried tar mop from 40 feet above after yelling the standard warning, "Heavy!" Presley said the mop, the weight of which he estimated at between 10 and 15 pounds, struck Peat on the front part of the head, apparently breaking his neck. A Chapel of the Hills ambulance rushed Peat to Auburn Faith Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival. Peat, a native of North Dakota, had been a resident of the Auburn-Newcastle area for the past 47 years and had been employed by Lardner and Lardner for 20 years. He was a Marine Corps veteran of World War II. He was a member and past president of Local 1486 of the Carpenters Union and was active in the Mother Lode Bowling Association. Survivors include his wife, Eileen of Auburn; three sons, Alex of Auburn, Jay of the U.S. Air Force in Panama and Ronald of Roseville; three brothers, Ernie of Porterville, David of Merced and Henry of Santa Cruz; a sister, Mrs. Alma Helmotz of Tacoma, Wash.; and two grandchildren. The Chapel of the Hills is in charge of arrangements. Burial will be in the Auburn District Cemetery. The family asked that donations in Peat's name be made to the Heart Fund or the Cancer Fund.
