Daughter of Reed Peck and Caroline Dodd. Fanny was named for her maternal grandmother, Fanny Davis Dodd. Fanny Peck married Fred Macklin April 30, 1914 at the age of 39, first marriage for each of them. Fanny's heart may have been broken at the death of her first love Frederic Carragan in 1902. (https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/74957630/carr) (Writer has some of their letters.) The marriage of Fanny and Fred was performed by the same minister who later did their daughter Mary's wedding 31 years later at the same Bacon Hill home.

Fanny was an accomplished pianist and studied at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston. Locally she played piano for the Bacon Hill Dutch Reformed Church. Fanny and Fred Macklin lived in the same Bacon Hill house as her parents, purchased in 1871. It is across from the Grange Hall and has a historical marker for Capt. Burke. Their only child was Mary Caroline, who married Dwelle Hoag from Greenwich, NY. Mary graduated from Skidmore College in 1938.

Fanny also ran an antique business out of their house in the 1930's. She would have been fascinated by the big country auction held there by her grandchildren in 1995, when the house was sold. Writer is Fanny's only granddaughter. Unfortunately we never met. But I have many of her treasures to remember her.
