Orphaned son of aviator Paul Peck and his wife Ruth Owens Peck.

In fall of 1912, he was reported to be living with his maternal grandmother in Washington, DC, while his father's family was in Sullivan, West Virginia.

When making this memorial, I had thought that young Paul may have died from the influenza prevalent the year of his passing, which was particularly lethal to children, whose untested immune systems reacted especially harshly in a cytokine storm. Kind fellow contributor and sponsor MMMGM has since added an obit for him, that sadly confirms this.
