Monday morning the citizens were very much pained when they learned that Rev. Charles E. Peake was one of the unfortunate number who lost their lives aboard the ill fated boat Narragansett, Saturday evening. Many reports were in circulation in regard to the manner in which Mr. P. lost his life. Some were of the opinion that he perished while endeavoring to save the lives or others, for he was a very expert swimmer and would undoubtedly have escaped with his life had there not some accident befallen him. It was at first feared that his wife and only daughter were with him, but telegrams show that they were at Dover, Del., on their little farm.
Mr. P. was enroute for Westerly, R. I. to preach on Sunday. His remains were conducted to Delhi, Delaware Co., by bis brother. The funeral obsequies were held Wednesday (16th inst.) at the above place, conducted by Rev. S. M. Cook, of the Grace Christian church. Many of the citizens went to pay their last tribute of respect to this exemplary man. His death casts a deep gloom over the entire community, for there is not one in this community but know him a true christian and a model of a good citizen.
Mr. P. came here by the solicitation of a friend several years ago to preach a couple of discourses, and the people were so much taken up with him that they hired him to come here and preach. He at first delivered his discourses in the Union church but after a year of unceasing work he organized a society and built one of the handsomest and most convenient churches that graces our village. After five years of unceasing labor with his society here he resigned his pastorship and moved with his family to Philadelphia where be continued to reside until he was called home to his Father that fatal Saturday night.
He was a very fluent speaker and had that about him that was very pleasing to his hearers. He was always ready to speak without preparation when called upon. A memorial service will be held in the Grace Christian church of which be was the founder, Sunday next by Rev. S. M. Cook.
