Mrs. Elizabeth Preston - Died

Mrs. Elizabeth Preston of near Flovilla, whose serious illness was mentioned in our last week-s issue died early Saturday morning, after a lingering illness of some time, brought on mainly by old age, she having lived to the ripe old age of some eighty years. For sixty consecutive years of her life she was a consistent member of the Sandy Creek Primitive Baptist church, and by her strong faith in God and noble Christian virtues she endeared herself to all whom she met. Her remains were laid to rest Sunday afternoon at the family burying grounds on the premises, and the funeral conducted by Rev. Mr. Goddard of Pike County.
