May 4th. Ella Lucia Litchfeld, old
est daughter of James and Tryphena
Litchfeld, was born in Newport in 1851,
although most of her girIhood was
spent in Leadville, P. @. She pos
sessed a genial disposition and had
many friends in these places. In 1875
she was married to Henry Preston
and her early married life was spent
in Bloomington. A son, Arthur, was
born here, who was always a great
comfort to her. She afterwards lived
in West Derby and Whitefield, N. H.,
where her son met with an accident
which crippled him for the rest of his
life, which ended six years ago. Mrs.
Preston accepted Christ as her Saw
Jour early in life and led virtuous
Christian life. She identified herself
with the Congregational church in
Bloomington and the Baptist in West
Derby and took an active part
in Sunday school and social work
of the church. She had little home
in Coventry, but came to her sister
after an attack of bronchitis, last
fall from which she never rallied
and tuberculosis caused her death.
The last years of her life were
Swallowed with sorrow but at last
THE peace of God which passeth all
understanding" came to her and the
joy she had longed for here would be
hers beyond the grave. She was sur
rounded by loving friends and tender
ly cared for by a sister and her mother.
Every dainty or flower sent her by
friend or ne1ghbor was appreciated by
her greatly, and the sister and aged
mother wish to thank all who helped
and sympathized with them in their
bereavement.
