Ogden Daily Times, 4-17-1885
Death of Jason Peck

We have received a copy of the Ottawa (Ill.) Times of April 10th, which 
contains the following account of the sudden death at his residence in that 
place of Mr. Jason Peck, a former well-known resident of this city. Mr. Peck 
left Oswego about 19 years ago.

"Our citizens were much surprised to hear, this afternoon, of the death of our 
well known citizen Jason Peck. Mr. Peck has been ailing during the winter, but 
was able to be about and his numerous friends in the city hoped that in the 
spring he would recover his wonted vigor. He was uptown on Wednesday and 
though not by any means strong there was no intimation in his appearance of 
his approaching and sudden demise.

"To-day Mr. De la Chappelle of the new glass company arrived in the city and 
wished to complete arrangements for the sinking of an artesian well. M. Peck 
sent a note to Mr. Ballard and the latter went down about 2:30 this afternoon 
to see him. Mr. Peck was very week[sic] and Mrs. Peck said that he could not 
raise anything from his lungs. He spoke to Mr. Ballard about the business for 
a minute or so when he commenced to choke. A violet hemorrhage set in and in a 
few moments he died in the arms of his wife and Mr. Ballard, before the 
attending physician, Dr. Bascom, could reach the house.
