JESSE BALLARD PECK
Jesse Ballard Peck, son of Henry and Anna Peck, was born in Wyanet
township, Nov. 10, 1879, and departed this life at his home in Wyanet,
Dec. 28, 1936, at 9:20 a.m. Mr. Peck was sick for 14 months, but was not
confined to his bed until the last few days, and while suffering much, as
those with cancer usually do, he bore his suffering with much courage.
Mr. Peck was married to Miss Ada Ray, Feb. 12, 1907. To this union was
born three children: Mrs. Letha Eckberg and Leland, who is still at
home, one child dying in infancy.
Mr. Peck spent the major part of his life on a farm north of Wyanet,
all of his life having been spent in and near Wyanet, Ill.
He leaves to mourn their loss, besides his wife and two children, one
son-in-law, Lawrence Eckberg of Wyanet, three brothers Louis, Frank and
Eugene, one brother making his home in Wyanet, and the other two in
Kewanee, six sisters, Mrs. Mabel Jackson of Princeton, Mrs. Rosa Brown of
St. Louis, Mo., Mrs. Girtie Swanger of Kewanee, Mrs. Carrie Forth of
Wyanet, and Miss Lora Peck and Miss Elva Peck, who are making their home
near Wyoming. There are also three nieces and 17 nephews, one uncle of
Oklahoma, who is 77 years of age, besides other relatives and many
friends.
In Mr. Peck's earlier years he attended the Congregational church and
also the Wesleyan Methodist church of West Bureau. However, he did not
yield to Christ till after stricken with his last illness. He regretted
his former attitude and sought forgiveness and appreciated having the
Scriptures read and prayer offered in his behalf. We trust that through
the mercy of the Lord he gained admittance to the better world.
Funeral services were held at the Wesleyan Methodist church. Rev. R.
Wesley Pryor officiated. Interment was at Forest Hill cemetery.
