John Jones Peck
John Jones Peck, 84, of 4966 Frontenac Rd., Trumansburg, slipped quietly into his new life on Sunday, December 15, 2002.
Born March 7, 1918 in Scranton, PA to George W. and Elizabeth Vail Peck, John was raised by John T. and Ella Vail Jones in Athens, PA following the death of his mother shortly after his birth.
John graduated Athens High School, Elmira Business Institute and Penn State University. He began work for the Schrier Oil Co., and then Ingersol Rand Co. of Sayre, PA. He served 39 months in the Army Air Corp during WWII; he graduated Penn State in January 1950 with a degree in journalism.

His notebooks of news clippings of Steuben County events 1950-1962 are to be found in the archives of the Steuben Co. Historical Society in Bath, NY.

Copies of a column on how to don a three-armed hospital gown hung in the X-ray department dressing rooms at Cayuga Medical Center for many months.
