!PARENTS-SPOUSE-CHILDREN: Maurice E Peck, FAMILY HISTORY of Inter-Married Branches of the Families of BROWN, DOANE, HESS, PECK, WINTERMUTE; 1800-1976; Maurice E Peck, 1976; pp 40-41; Brewster, NY Public Library; Virgil, after the death of his mother in February 1905, bought out his brother's and sister's shares in the farm. Prior to their marriage, Edna had been living next door with her aunt, Mrs Mial (D-7 Phoebe Doane) Peck. Virgil, energetic, ambitious and enterprising, soon increased his farm to 172 acres, built new barns and was among the first to adopt modern ways of farming and living. He moved most of the original house to the east property line as a tenant house and buit a second teneat house west of the main house. For his bride he built a large "late Victorian" style house, the first to have indoor plumbing and self generated electricity, in the area, and bought one of the first Model T Fords. With its large lawns, circular driveway, many large maple and walnut trees, three houses, several large barns, creekside location and spreading orchards it was truly a "show place." Edna's premature death, at age 36, in 1918 left Virgil with 6 children from 1 1/2 to 11 years of age. His success in fulfilling the dual role of father and mother was a little less than miraculous. We children were very fortunate in our parentage. I can remember my mother, Edna, as the sweetest mother possible and her insistence on personal cleanliness. Virgil's second marriage, in 1923,to Letitia Byers, 1881-1968, lasted for 44 years, until his death in 1967. "Letty," at age 42, took over a most difficult task as step-mother of 6 children, ages 6-16. She was especially helpful to the younger children. Letty was a daughter of Matthew Thomas Byers, 1853-1920, and Margaret Brown, 1853-1923. She was born in Rochester, NY. It was from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, that Letty went to Chicago in 1923 to marry Virgil. While Letty was living in Rochester as a young woman, Virgil had courted her for some time prior to his marriage to Edna Brown.
