He was born at West Staff ord, Ct., on D3cemb3r 15, 18L5, BOUTON-BOUGHTON FaMILT. 19 and there received a common school education. At sixteen years of age he became a clerk in a dry goods store in Hart- ford and was subsequently a clerk in a jobbing house in New York city. In 1837, after the great fire in New York, he returned to Hartford, and was engaged in the cotton trade, and afterwards in the flour trade. He married Lucy E. Wildman, of Hartford, in 1839, and removed to Troy in 1845, where he ever after resided. In 1848 he, with Joseph Hillman, his partner, under the name of Peck & Hillman, accepted the general agency of the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance company, controlling the whole business of that company in the state of New York excepting the city of New York. During the time they have been the agents of that company it is said they have sent to the office of the company in Hartford $20,000,000. Mr. Peck's life was in- sured for $35,000. He had three children, all of whom sur- vive him : Mre. Amasa R. Moore, of Lansingburgh, N. Y., Wm. A. Peck, a civil engineer, of Denver, Col., and Alfred 6. Peck, of Cohoes, N. Y. His widow also survives him. He was next to the youngest of a lar^e family of children. Elisha Peck, formerly of Hartford, Daniel A. Peck, of Elling- ton, who survives him, and Dr. E. D. Peck, of Perrysburgh, Ohio, were his brothers. Mrs. Aholiob Johnson, late of Enfield, Mrs. H. A. Hamilton, of Somers, and Mrs. Henry P. Averill were among his sistera, Mrs. Hamilton and Mrs. Averill surviving him. His character was that of a most sincere, simple and lovable Christian, and he carried sun- shine wherever he went, and will be long missed by those who knew him best."
