"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 55, No 14, p 216, Apr. 3, 1899.

The church in Berlin, New York, has recently suffered the loss by death of three of her members. This has been a very sickly winter among all the people of the place. Seven members in all have been removed from our midst since our coming here to labor in the gospel. We feel these sad losses greatly, and ask who will fill up the places of the departed ones? Doubtless our loss is their infinite gain. To the Christian, 'To die is gain.' John C. Peckham died of heart failure Feb. 5. He was born Sept. 25, 1838, and was married Sept. 22, 1861, to Miss Janette, daughter of the late Jared Green, of Berlin, N. Y. He leaves a son and a daughter to mourn the loss of a kind father, his wife having departed this life some years since, during which time our brother mourned over the sad bereavement. He professed religion many years ago, and remained a member of the church till his demise, which occurred very suddenly at the residence of Mr. Arlie Bentley, where he had made his home, Mrs. Bentley being his niece. He was a kindly, courteous, good-hearted man, and was much respected by all who knew him.
