"Jack" per obit below:


"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."
