Another Pioneer Called
10 His Eternal Reward

Frank L. Peck, 73, one of
Georgetown's pioneers, died sudd-
emily last Saturday at Denver while
boarding the train for visit in
Empire. His death came as a
great surprise and shock to his
many friends in Clear Gre ek
county, for only a week before he
had visited Georgetown friends
and was in his usual good health.
Frank Peck had served Clear
Greek county in the capacity of
clerk of the district court, and was
for three terms elected clerk and
recorder, where he made friends
of all who transacted business with
him.
He was engaged in mining in
various parts of the county and
held valuable properties. His
frie nds thruout the county extend
their heartfelt sympathy to the
children who survive him.
