Peter L. [eo] McCloud, 54, a lawyer and senior editor of the federal database project with Lexis-Nexis, died of cancer July 24 in Lexington, Va.

Mr. McCloud was born in the District and grew up in Arlington and Fairfax counties. He graduated from Gonzaga College High School in the District in 1969 and from the College of William and Mary, with honors, in 1973.

In 1974, he joined the General Services Administration, where he helped oversee renovations to the federal courthouse in Philadelphia and was a building services official at the Pentagon. He later became director of federal properties for the Western District of Virginia, based in Charlottesville.

He left government service in 1980 to attend the University of Virginia School of Law, where he received a law degree in 1983. He worked with the Virginia attorney general's office in the summer of 1982.

Mr. McCloud entered law practice in Charlottesville in 1983 with Charles Haugh. Two years later, he joined the law firm of Boyle, Bain & Downer, where he specialized in criminal and domestic legal cases. He joined Lexis-Nexis in 2000 and soon after moved to Lexington. With Lexis-Nexis, he was part of a special unit compiling federal appellate and state supreme court rulings.

Mr. McCloud was passionate about baseball and history. He followed the Washington Senators in the old days, switched to the Baltimore Orioles out of necessity and traveled to Philadelphia this year for the Washington Nationals' debut against the Phillies.

In college, he was a Russian history major and was deeply interested in the American Civil War -- or, as he called it, "the war of northern aggression."

Survivors include his wife of 19 years, Ruth S. Intress of Lexington; two children, Emily Clare McCloud and George Edmund McCloud, both of Lexington; his father and stepmother, George John McCloud and Anna McCloud of Falls Church; a brother, John Patrick McCloud of Voorhees, N.J.; and three sisters, Mary McCloud of Decatur, Ga., Anne Boyle of Denver and Maureen Roberts of Heathsville, Va.
