Early in life he united with the Baptist church (of which his father, Joel Peck, was a pastor) and has ever been a consistent member. September 16, 1850 he was married at Jay, N.Y. to Helen Johnson, who preceded him to the other world by eight months.
Deceased was a great lover of good books, and was familiar with the works of many of our best authors, but his chief delight was the Bible, which he read through at least once a year and many were the passages he could quote from memory.
