After her husband's early death from cancer, Margaret kept Homer's local weekly paper in Berwyn, Ill. going for a time, then moved to her native <a href="/wiki/Maryland" title="Maryland">Maryland</a>, where she eked out a living for herself and three children teaching piano and voice at their <a href="/wiki/Salisbury,_MD" class="mw-redirect" title="Salisbury, MD">Salisbury</a> home.<sup id="cite_ref-rothe609-610-2d_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-rothe609-610-2d-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>From infancy, Trussell was called by his middle name, Prescott. Garbled by his siblings, this became "Peck" and the nickname stuck throughout his professional and personal life. Before becoming a journalist, Peck Trussell tried his hand in the lumber business, in Baltimore's <a href="/wiki/C%26O_Railroad" class="mw-redirect" title="C&O Railroad">C&O Railroad</a> office and, with a friend in Springfield, Ill., buying and selling automobile tires.
