  Mead, Peter F., was born on January 13, 1862, in Bloomingdale, 
Passaic County, N.J. His educational advantages were very limited until 
he became of age, when he entered the Centenary Collegiate Institute at 
Hackettstown, N.J., where he studied four years, after which he entered 
Drew Theological Seminary and graduated in 1890.
  He was converted on October 17, 1878, in a service held in a 
schoolhouse near Stockholm, Sussex County, N.J., and soon after united 
with the Methodist Episcopal Church at Stockholm, on the Newfoundland 
charge in the Newark Conference. About two years after joining the 
Church he was given an exhorter's license, and local preacher's license 
was given him on February 23, 1884, by the church at Succasunna, Newark 
Conference. Deacon's orders were given him at Newark Conference in 
1889. In 1890 he joined Newark Conference, where he labored until 1896, 
when he came to this Conference and supplied Rome charge one year, and 
in 1897 united with the Conference.
  On May 14, 1890, he married Miss Kate Alma Bosch, of East Orange, 
N.J.
