OBITUARY-

Martha Peck

DIED-Of heart disease at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. H. W. Webb, three
miles east of Maquoketa, on Sunday, July 17th, 1887, Mrs. Martha Peck died, aged
78 years, 1 month, 11 days. Deceased was born in Lincolnshire, England, June 6,
1809, and was married to Wm. Pyser in 1829. Removing to this country with her
husband in 1835 she settled in Moriah, Essex County, New York, where she buried
her husband. She came to Iowa early in the 1850’s. She was remarried in
succession to Richard Mayo, Peter Loucks, and George Peck, all of whom she
survived. She had four children by her first husband, of whom two are living,
Mrs. Alfred Pyser and Mrs. Mary Webb. She was a member of the Church of England
and her life was full of kindness toward her fellow men. Open hearted and
generous, she would sacrifice and deprive herself in order to give to those she
loved. An indefatigable worker, she was always busy, even to within a few hours
of her death. Her last illness was brief and her departure sudden and scarce
expected, and like a clock run down she quietly fell into that sleep which knows
no waking.
