The Ionia County News, Thursday, April 21, 1938


Suffering from shock as the result of a fall in her home nearly a month ago, 
Mrs. Ella Preston, 82, died in the Ionia hospital Tuesday night.  Funeral 
services are to be held Friday afternoon from the Boynton chapel.  Conducting 
the services will be the Rev. C. A. Bracy of the Ionia Church of Christ, while 
burial is to be in Highland Park cemetery.

Mrs. Preston fell in her home in March, and was taken to the Ionia hospital 
where x-rays revealed that no fractures had been incurred.  Shortly after, she 
was removed to her home, but evidently still suffering from the shock of the 
fall, she lapsed into unconsciousness Friday, did not recover up to her death 
Tuesday.

She was born September 17, 1855 at Bradford, New York, and moved to Ionia at 
the age of 14.  She has lived here since.  Her husband, Howard C. Preston of 
Ionia, whom she married in 1875, died in 1916.

Surviving her are two daughters, Mrs. Sadie Shout of Fenwick, and Miss Frankie 
Preston, at home; one son, Archie Preston, at home; a brother, Edward 
Swarthout of Weston, New York; and a sister, Mrs. Dan Dickson of Keene 
township.  Three grandchildren also survive.
