Edward Howard Preston, whose untimely death on December 7, 1912, cast a gloom over the town of Rockville, Connecticut, and its environs, was undoubtedly one of the best known and most popular figures of his time in that section of the State. He was a member of a family which for many years had made its home in Tolland county, his parents being Dr. G. H. Preston and Sarah (Cogswell) Preston, the former being a highly regarded physician of Tolland, where he
practiced medicine for many years. Edward Howard Preston was himself born in the town of Tolland, Tolland county, Connecticut, on June 5, 1851. Mr. Preston was married, April 11, 1883, to Miss Isabelle E. Pinney, a native of Ellington, Connecticut, and a daughter of the late Edwin Pinney, of that town. Mrs. Preston survives her husband, as do also a brother, George Preston, a prominent hardware merchant in Norwich, and a sister, now Mrs. Henry Young, of Tolland.
