Nancy, sister of the late John C. Peckham, the beloved wife of Russell H. Satterlee, of this place [Berlin, NY], passed away to her everlasting rest on the 27th of February, after a lingering illness, occasioned by paralysis, which she bore with submission to the divine will. She was the daughter of Johnson and Barbary Davis Peckham, and was born in Petersburg, in this state, May 15, 1836. She made a profession of religion and was baptized in her 21st year, by the Rev. L. C. Rogers. She was married in 1863, by Rev. A. W. Coon, then pastor of this church. Our late lamented sister will be greatly missed by a circle of numerous friends and relatives, and much by the Seventh-day Baptist church, of which she was a member. She was always at her post of duty, filling her place in the house of God, which she dearly loved. Giving and doing for the cause of God was her delight. Her example was such as to commend the Christian life and profession; her spirit was generous and noble. Braddock Peckham, who fought in the Revolutionary times along side of Washington, was the distinguished ancestor and grandfather of Brother John C. and Sister Nancy.
