Misc. Notes
From Williams Family History: “Eunice J. Williams Peck was born September 17, 1868, died October 16, 1937 and is buried in the North Elba Cemetery in Lake Placid, NY. On September 26, 1890 she married Alfred Peck, a farmer and lumberman, who was born in 1863 and died in 1932 at the age of 69 years. The Peck farm in Lake Placid is now the Craig Wood Golf and Country Club and the Peck house still stands -- the home of the golf course overseer. The second husband of Eunice Peck was Willard Washburn. Eunice and Alfred had 9 children (q.v.)....”111
To add to the confusion about his dates, he was listed as 21 in the 1892 NYS Census. Living with or near him in North Elba were Eunice Peck (wife), Mary Peck, Elmer Peck, Ethel Peck. This census was unclear on grouping people; I take Ethel to be the child of Elmer and Mary.39
According to Janet Hall, the 1875 New York State Census lists him as “Alford”.140
In the 1900 federal census, he is Alford, was born February 1866, age 34, and had been married 9 years. He and his parents were born in New York. He is a teamster, can read and write, and owns his house free of mortgage.10
In 1910 he was living on Cascade Road with wife Eunice, and Irene, Kenneth, Agnes, Gertrude, Forrest, Gladys, Lewis, and a servant named only George (white male 26 single). In the marriage column, he and Eunice were both listed as “M1” -- in some instances this census taker used “M” or “M2”. I take it that M2 meant second marriage; if that’s accurate, I can take this M1 as another sign that this Alfred Peck did not marry Delia Chouse. It says he was 20 when he married Eunice.He was a farmer, farming, owned his property free (not mortgaged).61
In the 1925 state census, he is 59, a farmer, living on Cascade Avenue in Lake Placid with Eunice, Gladys and Louis.20 Nearby, boarding with the Thew family, is Eugene Johnson, which may have been how Eugene’s brothers, Guy and Jesse, came to know Alfred’s daughters, Gladys and Agnes.
In the 1920 census, he is living with wife Eunice and Kenneth, Agnes, Gertrude, Forrest, Gladys, Louis and a male boarder whose name may be Mannie Furlong. He was 53, and owned his own farm.
In the 1930 Census, he is living with wife Eunice and son Louis on Cascade Road in North Elba, and has son-in-law Jesse Johnson’s family (Agnes, Charles, Alma, Ellen, Eunice) with him. They are adjacent to Forest Peck, Kenneth Peck, and Lynn Whitney. Alfred is head of household, owns property worth $5000, and is not a farm. He is 64, was married at 24. Although he answered “no” to “does this family live on a farm?” he lists his occupation as “farmer” and his workplace as “farm.” (The other Pecks and Jesse list various forms of labor). He was not a veteran.5
