   Joseph Peacock, Attica, was born in Burlington county, New Jersey, September
19,1814. His parents moved to Warren county, Ohio, the following year, and to
Attica in the fall of 1829. Joseph learned the blacksmithing and wagonmaking
trade when quite young, and followed it until a few years since. He served in
the city council for seven consecutive terms. In 1874 he was elected township
trustee and served for six years, the law prohibiting him from holding the
office longer. In 1874 he made the race for mayor, but was beaten twenty-five
votes. He has been a member of the Methodist Episcopal church for the past fifty
years, and has filled various offices in that organization. Mr. Peacock is the
oldest resident of Attica now living, having been here almost fifty-two years.
He is an honored and respected citizen, and counts his friends by the score.
