ANNA MARY PECK
Beautiful Life Came to Close at Six This Morning
"We are quite sure / That He will give them back-- / bright, pure and beautiful, / We know He will but keep, / Our own and His until we fall asleep, / We know that He does not mean, / To break the strands reaching between, / The Here and There."
The life work of Mrs. Anna Mary Waite Peck, widow of Frank L. Peck, came to a close this morning at the Peck farm home "The Willows" near Stover Station. While not in full health and strength for some time, Mrs. Peck became seriously ill about ten days ago and gradually grew worse until she "Crossed the Bar" into the life eternal at six o'clock this morning. Angina pectoris was the cause of her demise.
Anna Mary Waite Peck was a daughter of the late John G. and Isabella Henderson Waite. She was born on the Waite farm homestead in Eden Valley, September 21, 1855 and resided in this community all her life. On December 29, 1881 at the Waite homestead, she was united in marriage with Frank L. Peck, who preceded her to the life beyond, a few weeks ago. One son, Robert L. Peck and one daughter, Anna Mary Peck died a number of years ago.
Surviving her death are these daughters and sons: Grace, wife of James Yinger; Florence, wife of Earl Oster, Nealmont; John W. Peck, Tyrone; Ralph E. Peck and Miss Marguerite Peck at "The Willows." Two sisters, Mrs. H.E. Gardner, East Orange, New Jersey, and Mrs. John B. Campbell, of Tyrone, also survive, along with six grandchildren, all girls.
Mrs. Peck received her first education as a girl in the public schools of Huntingdon county, after which she finished and graduated at the Birmingham Seminary, now known as the Birmingham School for Girls. She was a lady of refinement and culture and with these were mingled love, devotion and the attributes of a sincere christian life. Her gracious, pleasing manner and personality predominated in the home and the hospitality at "The Willows" was known far and wide throughout the rural community, because of her presence there.
Mrs. Peck was an active member of the First Methodist Episcopal church of Tyrone, the Ladies Aid society and the Mystic Circle. In the Warrior's Mark Grange, Mrs. Peck was an earnest worker and did much to promote the interest of the Patrons of Husbandry. In all these she will be missed.
Funeral services will be held at the home on Tuesday afternoon at 2.30 o'clock, conducted by her pastor, Rev. Elmer Ilgenfritz. Interment in Grandview.
