Change at the Peabody Hotel (1871)
Whig and Tribune
July 29, 1871
The change in the propriertorship of the Peabody Hotel, intimated in our last issue, occurred yesterday, Messrs. O’BANNON & MORRIS taking charge. For a number of years Mr. E. O’BANNON was connected with the office of the Louisville Hotel, as one of its principal clerks. For a couple of years past he has been at the Overton, having in both places achieved a widespread and deserved popularity. Those who have visited the Overton, and – years ago – the famous Planters’ Hotel, Augusta, Georgia, will testify to Mr. L.S. MORRIS‘ great efficiency as a caterer. Under their management the Peabody will at once attain a rank among the finest hotels in the country. — Memphis Avalanche
