General Notes: Husband - Solomon Peck

---

He was born in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, and in 1846 was brought to Centre County by his parents. After obtaining a good practical education in the common schools of Centre County, he learned the cabinet maker's trade, at which he worked until 1885, when he embarked in merchandising in Huston; he was also engaging in undertaking and farming.
A man of broad and liberal views, well informed on the leading issues and questions of the day, he was one of the prominent, influential citizens of Walker township. In connection with his store in Huston, he also owned a fine farm just a half mile from the city limits, but made his home in the village. A strong Democrat in politics, he was honored by his party with several official positions of honor and trust, including those of county auditor, overseer of the poor, school director, and justice of the peace for at least fifteen years. Religiously, he held membership in the German Reformed Church.
He bore a remarkable resemblance to Governor Altgeld, of Illinois.
