RELATIVE OF FIRST PRESIDENT DIES
 IN LOS ANGELES

LOS ANGELES, Cal.-(Special)- Jonathan Custard, S2 years old, said to have been the oldest living relative of General George Washington, is dead here after an illness of three weeks.
 He, with his wife, was on his sixth visit to California, the last SojoCri' here having been about two years, although they maintained their permanent home at Lima, Ohio.
 When Mir. and Mrs. Custard were here two years ago they led a dance in honor of Washington's birthday and despite their age they were one of the sprightliest couples on the floor.
 Mir. Custard's great-grandmothers on his fathers side and George Wase- ington's mother were sisters. A record of the distinguished ancestry and the successive steps in the gen calogy is a prized possession of the Custard family.
