    Anna Peek, State Pioneer, Phoenix Developer, Dies
    Anna R. Peek, who came to Phoenix with her husband and three children by horse-drawn wagon in 1887, died at 4 p. m. yesterday at the age of 94 years.
    She and the late George W. Peek journeyed from Lawrence, Kan., that year to a community near Tucson, where an uncle owned a big ranch. When Indians went on the warpath, Mrs. Peek insisted her brood be moved to a safer place—Phoenix.
    In the Phoenix of 1887, Washington street took up but a few blocks. Two children—the other died in 1888—attended the first adobe school here. Mr. Peek helped build the old city hall where the Fox Theater now stands.
    Until he died in 1931, he was with the old city water works.
    Mrs. Peek was the last living charter member of Central Christian Church. She was one of the first to attend the Pioneers Reunion. At her death, she was living in the house at 922 East Van Buren street that Mr. Peek built in 1889.
    She was born April 24, 1848, in Plainsville, Ind. She married Mr. Peek February 20, 1870, at Shelbyville, Ill.
    Surviving are her daughter Mrs. H. C. Sparks, and her son, W. E. Peek, both of Phoenix.

  • Tucson Citizen, Tucson, Arizona, 24 Sep 1999, p 45
    Loghry, Norma Sackett Davy, 94, of Tucson, Arizona left her family and friends shortly after midnight September 21, 1999. She was born to Gertrude Electa Sackett Davy and Will J Davy October 6, 1904 in Bergen, Genesee County, New York. She remembered good times on the farm of her grandparents Albert Henry and Ida May Snyder Sackett in Fancher, NY, happy hours in the Bergen carriage shop, livery stable and blacksmith shop operated by her father and grandfather John W. J. Davy (grandmother Anna Bella Gordon), horse drawn sleigh rides with jingle bell harness and buggy rides with Dad, while he was Highway Supervisor on the Tonawanda Seneca Indian Reservation. She said recently, "We had fun." She graduated from the Rochester Institute of Technology in 1926. She lived in Plainfield, New Jersey and taught home economics in several schools (1926-1933). In 1928 she visited California, traveling by steamship through the Panama Canal. On August 15, 1931 she married Clarence K. "Pic" Loghry and the newlyweds moved to New York City, while she commuted to Plainfield by ferry across the Hudson River. They moved to Westchester County, living in Mount Vernon, New Rochelle, and White Plains, NY. After Pic's retirement from the New York Telephone Company in 1965, they moved to Boca Raton, Florida, where they spent 14 happy years until Pic died unexpectedly on June 1, 1979. In 1984 she moved to Tucson, the Flower Square Apartments (now the Oasis Apartments). In October, 1998, she contracted pneumonia, enduring two hospital stays. She was no longer able to live alone and moved to the Desert Gardens Clinical Care Center. We are very grateful for the care and consideration given to her by the caregivers at Desert Gardens and her Oasis friends. She is survived by her sons James D. Loghry (Margaret R Lascelle) of Tucson and John S. Loghry of Bronxville, NY and grandchildren Michael Andrew Loghry, Elizabeth Lascelle Matthias-Loghry (Bryan W.), J. Douglas L. Loghry of Tucson and Lisa Ann Loghry of Yonkers, NY; former daughter-in-law Barbara L. Whyte, Debra Barnard Matthews (William James) and children Chelsea and Billy of Yorktown, NY, Susan Barnard Morelein (Andrew), and children Alex and Drew of Bow, New Hampshire and Gregory Barnard (Ann) and sons Ian and Evan of Kendallville, Indiana. A modest and unassuming woman, she never realized how many people she influenced in a positive way. Norma insisted there be no memorial service.
