The sad news rearched here Thursday morning that Guy Preston had died suddenly
that morning. It was a shock and surprise to everyone as he had been to the
wedding of his brother Harry only a few days before and had seemed to be in
usual good health. He had had an attack of the typhoid fever a week before but
had so far recovered that he was up and doing his usual work and only the day
before his death had remarked that he felt better than he had for a long time.
Thursday morning he was taken suddenly worse with hemorrhage of the lungs and in
spite of all that could be done he died in a short time.

Mr. Preston was the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Preston and had been
married two years. He leaves a wife, father and mother, and two brothers to
mourn his untimely death.

He was twenty-three years of age. Only a few weeks before his death, his only
child had died, so his wife and mother is left alone in her sorrow.

The funeral was held at the M.E. church at Greenleaf at 3 o'clock p.m. and the
interment took place in the cemetery two miles north of Greenleaf where only
five weeks before the body of his little child had been laid.

His widow and his mother, father, and brothers have the sympathy of everyone in
their deep sorrow.--Barnes Chief.
