Lima, N.Y., Thursday, June 28, 1888. [in pen written "Died June 19th buried
21st]
Mrs. Rebecca Peck
A brief paragraph last week announced the sudden death early in the morning of the 19 inst., of Mrs. Peck,
relict of the late Richard Peck. Rebecca Jeffords was born in Rush July 21st, 1820, and on Oct. 15th, 1845
was married to Richard Peck.  She immediately took up her residence in the well known stone farm house
on the Peck homestead., where the couple continued to reside until Mr. Peck's death June 11th, 1881.  
Since that time Mrs. Peck lived with her only child, Mrs. Samuel Bonner, within sight of the home of her
long married life.  Mrs. Peck was a woman who numbered her friends by the number of acquaintances she
possessed.  All who knew her intimately came to value highly this sincere Christian woman.  Her genial
nature, devoted friendship, and earnest Christian faithfulness won love and respect from all, and she
leaves a memory tender and lasting among her large circle of friends.  The bereaved family have the
sympathy of all in their loss of one who as wife, mother and friend so completely met all the requirements
of true womanhood.

Death of Richard Peck.
One of Lima's oldest and most widely known farmer, Mr. Richard Peck, died at his residence east of this
village on Saturday last, June 11th.  Mr. Peck was born in the neighboring town of West Bloomfield, Nov
30th 1811.  He was one of a family of nine children, five of whom survive him. His older brother who
has reached the advanced age of 81, is an invalid and resides at Clifton.  The four surviving sisters are Mrs.
Stage, Mrs. Riley, Mrs. Dann, and Mrs. Case, three of whom were present at his funeral.  Of his own family
he leaves his wife and one daughter, Mrs. Samuel Bonner, and two sons Asa B. and James Peck.  Mr. Peck
was a man widely known and respected by all with whom he came to be associated, as much for his genial,
happy disposition as for his strong character.  He was held in high esteem not only by his townsmen who
showed their appreciation of his worth by electing him supervisor for several terms, but by the people of
other towns throughout the county.  He was a progressive farmer, and a lover of fine stock and was always
one of the most active members of the Livingston County Agricultural Society, of which he was at one time
the president.  Mr. Peck moved into the house where he died with his parents when he was but a babe and
with the exception of a year in which he lived in Rush, his whole life has been spent in the home of his
childhood.  
His father and mother both breathed their last in the same room in which his last hours on earth were
spent.  Mr. Peck and wife were united with the Presbyterian church in this village in the 7th of July 1867.  
During his connection with it he has been a conscientious and faithful helper in all good works and in his
last hours said that faith in Christ was perfect.  His funeral took place from his residence on Monday last
and was one of the largest that has ever taken place in this town.

In Memoriam. - We learn with sorrow, of the sudden death of Mrs. Elizabeth J. Arnold, wife of Prof. L. B.
Arnold. She died very suddenly at her residence in the Town of Gates, just west of the city of Rochester,
Wednesday evening, March 22nd, of hemorrhage of the lungs; aged 57 years.  Mrs. Arnold was a true
woman. Intelligent, accomplished, of an affectionate nature; hopeful, progressive, she was the light and
joy of her home, and the society in which she moved.  Although for many years of sufferer, her strength of
mind and buoyancy of temperament enabled her to, in a great measure, rise above the depressing
influences of her physical condition and maintain a cheerful spirit under circumstances that would have
crushed a less self-sustaining character.  Our sympathies are with the bereaved husband and numerous
afflicted friends.


-The many friends of Dr. C. H. Hammond in Rush are pained to hear of his death, which recently occurred at
Iona, Mich.  He was for many years before removing to Michigan a resident of Rush, where he had
successfully practiced medicine for a number of years.
