WHITFIELD H. PECK, farmer, sec. 28, Deerfield Tp., was born Sept. 11, 1848, at 
Newark, N. J., and, in 1852, 

when four years old, came with his parents, Enos and Harriet (Hurd) Peck, to 
Greenville, Montcalm Co., Mich. 

where they died.  The father was a native of Connecticut, and the mother was 
born in New Jersey.

When Mr. Peck was ten years old he was sent back to the State of New York and 
remained with his uncle, F. B. 

Peck, ten years.  He was then 20 years of age, and resolved upon prospecting 
to some extent before making a 

final location, and passed the next seven years at various points in Missouri, 
Iowa, Kansas and Illinois.  

He then came to Greenville and lived with his brother-on-law about six years.  
He came to Mecosta County 

Feb. 25, 1881.

Mr. Peck was married Jan. 28, 1880, to Alice J., daughter of George and 
Angeline (White) Stewart.  Her 

father was born in New York and died June 17, 1882; her mother was born in New 
Hampshire and is now living 

with her daughter.  Mr. and Mrs. Peck have one child, Enos G., born Nov. 2, 
1881.  Mr. Peck is independent 

in politics.
