PEET, Max Minor (1885-1949) was born in Iosco, Michigan on October 20. He became a physician and Chairman of the Department of Neurosurgery at the University of Michigan. As a serious avocational ornithologist, Peet became an authority on North American birds, amassing one of the finest private collections of bird skins in North America. In 1945, he purchased the collection of more than 15,000 specimens from the estate of Henry H. Kimball. He donated the collection to the University of Michigan. Peet married Grace Stewart Tait (1889-1955) in 1915, and they had three children:
- Max Minor Peet Jr.(1918-2008)
- Stewart Tait Peet (1921-2010)
- Martha Ann “Sis” Peet [McAndrew]
Peet died of a heart attack at age 64. He and his wife are buried in Forest Hill Cemetery, Ann Arbor, Michigan.
