Thompson Peck Family
Last spring Thompson Peck, wife, and four-year-old daughter, moved from the "Miss
Kate Thomas" farm near Hancock, where Mr. Peck had been farming two or three years,
into Hancock, and Mr. Peck engaged in the livery business.
About eight weeks ago Mrs. Peck was stricken down with typhoid fever. She had the
most careful attention of friends and physicians, but continued to grow weaker. The
little daughter was sent out to the home of its uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. John
Decker, near Warfordsburg. About a week ago the father, worn out with the long watch
at the bedside of his sick wife, was attacked by the disease, and upon the advice of
friends was removed to the home of his brother-in-law, Mr. Park Palmer, in Pigeon
Cove, where he has been in a semi-delirious condition since.
On Sunday evening Mrs. Peck died, and the child is reported lying very ill at her
uncle's.
The remains of Mrs. Peck were interred in the cemetery at the Tonoloway Baptist
church on Tuesday, followed thither by a large concourse of sorrowing friends. Mrs.
Peck was about thirty-four years of age and a daughter of the late John H. Fisher of
Bethel township.
