Sermons, 1919-1956.

Collection consists of four volumes of about 400 sermons (mostly typed) and dozens of graduation speeches, tributes, and other addresses by Reverend Peele. There are handwritten notes in the margins and addresses, some with dates. The bulk of the sermons were delivered at the Edenton Street Methodist Episcopal Church, South, in Raleigh, N.C.; at Trinity Church in Durham, N.C.; and at First Methodist Church in Charlotte, N.C. in the 1920s. Also included are a few clippings relating to Peele; newsletters, programs and statements relating to the Methodist church; and addresses relating to Duke University (located in volume 4). The collection was donated by Sandra J. Grafton, Bishop Peele's niece, who also gathered and compiled the sermons.
