The community of Peck is at the boundary of Nez Perce Co., Lewis Co., and very near Clearwater Co.. The state list of Clearwater Co. Idaho Cemeteries includes Old Peck Cemetery. The county list does not. Since the town of Peck is only six miles from Orofino, ID, the citizens of Peck are more closely related to Clearwater Co. than to parent county of Nez Perce. This cemetery was long neglected and recently cleaned up. Many "unknown" chapel plates are in the cemetery. When citizens of Peck cleaned up the cemetery, they tried to find the names of all who were interred in this cemetery, however were unsuccessful.. The names of the firm on the chapel plates are also missing, thus I wrote chapel plate design to try to identify chapel plate firm. Read all rows left to right starting at bottom nearest parking spot.
