"SAD DEATH. One of the melancholy afflictions we have know lately,
befell the family of our friend and countryman, Mr. John B. Preston on
last Friday night, in the death of his son, Jack, who died on that night
from a cancer of the throat. Six months ago he was in the vigor of
budding manhood, and looked the impersonation of health and bid fair to
live long, in joy to his family. About that time the insidious destroyer
began his ravages and steadily progressed with the fatal work, until
death stilled his young heart with its icy touch. Jack was a splendid
boy, full of life and hope, and the idol of a fond mother's tenderest
love, and a conspicuous favorite with all his relations and friends. He
has passed away like a deam, and a mother's aching heart, and a father's
sad face tell too sorrowfully of the desolation that marked his untimely
death. His burial on Sunday last, near of the home of his sorrowing
parents was largely atended by his relations and friends, and his
remains were deposited in their final resting place amid the tears and
heart felt sympathies of the entire concourse."
