LOWMANSVILLE WOMAN DIES

Della Preston was born on the Sycamore Fork of Tom's
Creek at what is known now as Nippa, Johnson Co., KY., on
Dec 11, 1882. She was the daughter of the late Joe and Sally
Helton Daniel.

On June 5, 1905, she met and was married to Dr. T. R. Preston.

Mrs. Preston suffered from that deadful disease TB. She was taken
by her family to a sanitarium in Lousville and to different hospitals
in Paintsville. But inspite of all that loving hands and medical skill
could do, in the early morning of Saturday, Oct 31, 1942, she like a
brave soldier bid her family and many friends goodbye and went out to
meet that God in whom she had trusted so long.

The body was brought to the Preston Funeral Home for burial and then
on Sunday morning it was returned to the home. In the afternoon,
the body was taken to her old church where the services were
held. Revs. Foster Grim, Dennis Caldwell and Brother Hackworth
were in charge of services.

Immediately after the funeral, the body was laid to rest in the little
cemetery in front of the church.

She leaves to mourn her going, her husband, Dr. T. R. Preston and
daughter, Ollie (Roy Edward) Gresham, her aged mother, three brothers
and four sisters, John R. Daniel of Stambaugh; Arthro Daniel of Sitka,
Milt Daniel, of Nippa. Mrs Minnie Brown of Volga, Mrs Julia Arrowood
of Van Lear, Mrs. Maltie Grim of Stambaugh, and Mrs Jennie Saddler of
Nippa, and a host of relatives and friends. She came to the end of the
journey of life being fifty nine years, ten months and twenty days old.
