A Small Peck

True to my small family obsession...

Frank William Peck, a telegraph operator turned ticket agent for the New York Central Railroad & the son of Eron Peck & Catherine Henry, married Sarah A Sutter, the daughter of Frederick Sutter & Margaret Neitz. 

Perhaps their illnesses are why they never had any children
