- Newspaper Article - Wednesday, August 9, 1899 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Town Line Road - It is with sadness that the friends of Mrs. Reuben Peck learned of her death which occurred at her home in Burlington, Iowa, on June 29th of cancer of the stomach. She was in her seventy-fourth year. Her maiden name was Alletia Pangburn. She came to this place with her parents when she was about fifteen years old, nearly fifty-nine years ago and was a resident of this town about thirty nine years. The farm where Mr. M. Lighthall now lives was cleared by her father in the house was built when there were only three houses between Pulaski and Richland Station. Nearly fifty-eight years ago she was united in marriage with Reuben Peck of Richland, who survives her. Two children, Mr. George Peck, of Burlington, Iowa, and Mrs. Grace Mack, of Brisbane, Dakota, and an adopted daughter, Mrs. Florence Smith, of Iowa, are left with her husband to mourn her loss. She was the oldest of a family of six children of whom are left one brother, Mr. P. M. Pangburn, of Pulaski, and Mrs. W. Watkins, of Port Ontario. In her early life she united with the Baptist church of Pulaski and lived a devoted Christian life. About twenty years ago she removed with her family to South Dakota where she lived until within the past two years.
