CHILION PECK
Chilion Peck was born March 8, 1843, died Sunday, August 11, 1912, at 1:30 a.m. His demise was the result of paralysis. He sustained the first shock May 1, 1910; the second, the last day of April, 1911, while visiting old comrades at Dalson, N.Y., and the third, august 5, 1912, was followed by his death.
The pastor of the Reading M.E. church, Rev. R.E. Brague, preached the funeral sermon at the house, on Wednesday at 2 p.m., Rev. F.M. Smith assisting and the G.A.R. at Watkins had charge of the service at the grave in Pleasant View cemetery, Reading Center. The bearers were Comrades Buck, Smith, Philp and Hurley. The large attendance evidenced the high esteem of friends and neighbors.
Jason W. Peck and Susannah Sutton Peck were the parents of nine children, eight of whom grew up to manhood and womanhood. Chilion Peck and his twin brother Mahlon Peck, were the youngest of this family and was the last to go. Jason W. Peck was the son of Jason Peck, who settled in Reading from Greene county in 1818. The wife of Jason W. Peck was of the well-known Sutton pioneer family of the town.
Chilion Peck and Angeline Case, the eldest child of Ira Case and Maria Sinsabaugh Case, were married on his birthday, March 8, 1870, and one child was born of the union, Nettie Peck, now the wife of Floyd A. Trask. Mrs. Peck was also of a Reading pioneer family, and thus the ties of kinship cause sorrow to a great circle of relatives, and the survivors of the home have the deep sympathies of many.
Chilion Peck was three years a soldier in the Civil war, and in his devotion to the Union endured hardships that without doubt shortened his life. He enlisted November 18, 1861, in Elmira, and was honorably discharged November 18, 1864. He was a member of Company C, of the 89th Regiment of New York Volunteer Infantry, and was never remiss in his duty as a soldier and a citizen. He was a pensioner for meritorious deeds, and an esteemed comrade of D.W. Washburn Post.
Mr. and Mrs. Chilion Peck were charter members of Reading Grange No. 50, years ago when organized, and were of the first to join when revived a few years ago. They have been members and supporters of the Reading Center M.E. church for many years, he having united in March, 1869. He was always a resident of Reading, except during his military service, and one year passed on a farm in the edge of Tyrone. He built the house and barn upon his premises, and in all his business operations, a characteristic was his honesty and strict integrity. In his home was an unbroken circle, there residing with the father and mother, the daughter and her husband, and to all comes the comforting that a good citizen, a kind husband and loving father, has gone to his reward.
