Lompoc Record - Lompoc, California
Saturday 22 February 1890 - Page 3
OBITUARY. Miss Elva Peck was born at Vergennes, Mich., in 1852, and came to Lompoc with her parents among the first colonists in 1874. During the past year her health failed somewhat but it was hoped that a visit to her relatives would be beneficial. While on her way and while with a sister [Mrs. Lydia Jane Baldwin] in Kansas she was ill, but improved when she visited her brother, W. H. Peck [Wright Hunt Peck], at Oklahoma. Not gaining strength, they called a physician who said the sickness was serious. She prepared to come home immediately. On the evening of January 30th she was about and heartily received friends. The next morning she died without a struggle; thus realizing a wish and prayer that she might not outlive her activity. The cause of death was dropsy of the heart.
Miss Peck was well known in this community as a helper in good works. Her genial tact in social life won friends. Her earnest work in temperance was appreciated by all true people. The needy and sick held her kindly acts in grateful remembrance. Her work in the Sunday-school resulted in rich fruits. I all good causes she had a willing heart and ready hand and a loyal purpose. Her Christian life was marked by a simpel faith and loving zeal. Our hearts would have been made glad to return some of the loving acts and to pay the last kindly memories to the dead. She is missed by many, but especially in her home, but - she is at Home.
