Although the end came, not uneX.
pected in the immediate family and
among the near associates, the an.
nouncement is none the less shock
to the community in general. Mrs.
Preston has been one of the best
known and most beloved of the WON.
en- of the city. She has been active
socially and in church work. Her ef-
fort was for the better things of life
ard the extent of her influence and
the power OF her example have been
far reaching.
4 Life was sweet to Mrs. Preston.
She was greatly DESTROYS OF living.
She thoroughly enjoyed living and
had much to live for. Not until re.
cent days has she been resigned to
the will of Him who doeth all things
well, and so indicated to members
of the family circle. She combatted
every inroad of the disease with an
indomitable will and determination
against giving up. She would not
submit to the idea that she was really
i'll and only when she became uncon.
scious in the last hours could attend.
ants keep her to her bed. Although
practically helpless for more than Il
year, not q day has passed that she
has not been dressed and, assisted by
; others, has left her room or her
home. And the family has been as
devoted to her every wish as she has
been determined to be well again.
Deceased leaves a husband.
