(VII) Rev. George Peck, D. D., son of Luther and Annis (Collar) Peck,was born in Middlefield, Otsego county, New York, August 8, 1797, diedin Scranton, Pennsylvania, May 20, 1876. He was the second in point ofage of the famous five sons of Luther Peck, all of whom were ministersin the Methodist Episcopal church. George Peck united with the churchin 1812, and was licensed as an exhorter in 1815. He received a localpreacher's license in 1816, and served on the Cortland (New York)circuit without remuneration. In the same year he joined the Geneseeconference on trial. In 1821 he had charge of the church at Paris, NewYork, and during two following years was stationed at Utica. In 1824he was appointed presiding elder of the Susquehanna district. He hadmuch to do with Cazenovia Seminary before he became its successfulpresident in 1835. His interest in educational matters was alwaysintense. It is claimed that he "was the originator and the firstmoving spirit in the founding of Wyoming Seminary." "One evening inthe latter part of October, 1839, ne delivered an address in the oldchurch at Forty Fort on the subject of education, in which he advancedthe idea that a Methodist Seminary was needed in the Wyoming Valley,and that Kingston furnished as good a location as could be found forsuch an institution." One of his biographers further claims that he"was the originator of the first course of study prescribed by theGeneral Conference for traveling preachers."
His election to the editorship of the Methodist Quarterly Review"marked a new era in the history of the magazine, the more liberalpolicy adopted by the church enabling the editor to devote his timeand ability chiefly to its advancement, and to call to his aid an ablecorps of paid contributors. The result was that the literaryexcellence of the journal increased with marked rapidity, while, owingto the greater liberality in publication, the mechanical execution andelegance of appearance formed a decided contrast with the precedingvolumes." After eight years of very successful work on the Review hewas made editor of the New York Advocate. Here his statesmanship wasmanifest in many lines.
He had joined the Genesee conference, but became a member of Oneidaconference at its organization, was a member of New York conferenceduring the years of his editorial work, and in 1852 returned to hisformer fields of labor, becoming a member of Wyoming conference at itsorganization. He was delegate to general conference in thirteensessions, 1824 to 1872. His sound judgment and skill in debate werehere of great service to the church. Wesleyan University conferred thedegree of A. M. upon him in 1835, and in 1840 Augusta College gave himthe degree of D. D. He was a member of the Evangelical Alliance whichmet in London, in August, 1846.
Almost throughout his entire ministerial career Dr. George Peck was avaluable contributor to the literature of the Methodist Episcopalchurch, and in other fields of literary effort he enjoyed a reputationas a faithful and accurate writer. His publications, all extant, are:"Universalism Examined," "History of the Apostles and Evangelists,""Scripture Doctrine of Christian Perfection," "Rule of Faith," "Replyto Bascom," "Manly Character," "History of Wyoming" (1858, a rare andvaluable work), "History of Methodism Within the Bounds of the OldGenesee Conference," "Our Country, Its Trials and Its Triumphs," "Lifeand Times of George Peck."
Dr. Peck's fields of labor as a clergyman may be noted as follows:1816, Broome circuit, New York state, junior preacher; 1817, Cortland;1818, Wyoming; 1819, Bridgewater; 1820, Canaan; 1821, Paris; 1822-23;Utica; 1824-25, presiding elder Susquehanna district; 1826, Wyoming;1827, Wilkes-Barre; 1828-29, Ithaca, New York; 1830, Utica; 1831-32,Cazenovia; 1833-34, Auburn; 1835-38, principal Cazenovia Seminary;1839, presiding elder Susquehanna district; 1840-47, editor MethodistQuarterly Review and general book editor of the Book Concern; 1848-51,editor Christian Advocate; 1852-53, Wilkes-Barre; 1854, presidingelder Wyoming district; 1855, presiding elder Binghamton district;1856-57, Scranton mission (now Elm Park Church); 1858-61, presidingelder Wyoming district; 1866-67, Providence; 1868, Dunmore; 1869-72,presiding elder Wyoming district; 1873-76, superannuated.
One of his biographers says: "I view him as one of the most remarkablemen of our times--one whose genius and piety are indelibly stamped onthe ecclesiastical policy and wonderful growth of the church; whosewise counsels and herculean labors are interwoven in its development.For the past fifty years of his whole life he has been distinguishedby a devoted love to the church and unswerving loyalty to the honestconvictions of truth."
