Mt. Hope cemetery was platted during the time Mr. and Mrs. Peek lived in that vicinity and he assisted in grading iand landscaping the grounds.

In December, near Christmas time, Mrs. Peck’s health failed and she came to the home of her son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Sanders, to spend the winter. Her condition became more serious and the last two months it had been critical. Mrs. Peek was returned in April to the home where she was passed away.
She was a member of the Webb City Baptist church.
Mrs. Peek was cheerful and winsome and her personality won many friends.
Surviving her are her six children, Mrs. Sanders, of Carthage, Mrs. Joe Bundy of Webb City, Mrs. Edward T. Pratt, Sr. and Jesse Peek, of Joplin.
