She was a specialist in New York until 1917, when she retired to travel.
She married Judge Charles M. Murray in 1893.

Grace Peckham was born in 1848, October 16, and married at Worcester, Massachusetts, 1893, February 11, Judge Charles H. Murray, of New York.
She was graduated at Mount Holyoke in 1867 and from the Medical College of New York Infirmary in 1882. She was intern and resident physician in the New York Infirmary for Women and Children for three years, beginning public practice in 1884. She has been a teacher in the Medical College and the New York Infirmary for fifteen years, and in the Dispensary of the New York Infirmary for Women and Children, attending physician to the hospital for many years.
