PEELE, John Thomas, artist, born in Peterborough, England, in 1822. He came to this country when a child, and during his youth painted per-traits here, and also, during 1841-'4, in England.

In 1851 he finally returned to England, where he became a member of the Society of British artists, and where he has since had his studio, residing on the Isle of Man from 1858 till 1865.
