Biography:
Doctor Peabody is the local doctor, a recurring figure in the Yoknapatawpha novels and stories. In this novel, Ab sends Ratliff to him to purchase "a bottle of whiskey" (44). (Because Mississippi was a 'dry' state until 1966, doctors - who were allowed to prescribe alcohol for medicinal purporses and so often kept a supply on hand - were sometimes used as a source for it.)
