- Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, December 13, 1888 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - A Prominent Mexican Falls Dead - On Sunday evening last, Henry C. Peck, Esq., a well-to-do and reputable citizen of Mexico village, was found dead in the chapel of the M. E. church in that place. For many years he had been a prominent member of that religious body. On the evening in question he was in the church attending a revival service. When the seekers were invited forward to the altar, Mr. Peck, who was probably not feeling well, arose and passed through the door into the chapel. A moment later the janitor went into the same room and in the darkness stumbled over the prostrate form of Mr. Peck. Upon examination life was found to be quite extinct. The deceased had been in poor health for nearly two years. During a period of about 35 years he had conducted a very successful dry goods business in Mexico, and is highly respected for his honorable and fair dealings. Mrs. Peck and four children survive him. Charles Peck, a son and his partner in business, is a brother-in-law of L. J. Clark, Esq., of the Pulaski National Bank. He has one married daughter, Mrs. Le Grange Ballard of Mexico. The other two are Miss Mary Peck and Allen Peck, a tutor in Syracuse University. He was brother-in-law of Hon. L H. Poncher of Oswego. Mr. Peck was once treasurer of this county, and he also served for several years as a member of the Republican County committee. He was a member of the Masonic fraternity, and was at the time of his death about 68 years of age.
