In Memoriam
Lola Pearl Preston was born Nov. 4, 1881, at LuVerne, Kossuth Co., Ill., being the third daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J.M. Preston. She moved to Walnut with her parents in March '91, when ten years old, where she has since grown to womanhood and obtained her education. Here she made her home with the exception of about one year spent in Joliet where she was employed in a department store as clerk and a year and a half spent in Kewanee, where she made her home with Mrs. Maxwell and Mrs. Clyde Reed. There she was employed as clerk and bookkeeper.
She had been in poor health for the past two years and for about two weeks was scarcely able to be about. On Jan. 4th she was taken to her bed and suffered greatly for several days, then she started to improve and gained very rapidly and was able to be up a part of each day. On Jan. 28th she was dressed and about the house. The following day she was taken worse and suffered very much throughout the week. Feb. 3 she rallied again and seemed to be improving until Sunday morning March 3, when she had a relapse and grew rapidly worse until her death Tuesday night March 5, at 12:30, from hypothyroidism, at the age of 30 years, 4 months and 1 day.
She was a young lady of high moral character and had many friends among those who knew her best and many letters of sympathy and condolence have been received by the family from her friends.
Her loss is sincerely mourned by her family and she will ever be missed from the family circle.
She leaves to mourn her mother, sisters Myrtle, Wilda, Cora and Lillian, Mrs. Chas. Lochman, brothers Otto and Charles of this place and Corliss of Clark, South Dakota.
While she has gone from the scenes, the conflicts, the sorrows and pleasures of life, she will still live in the hearts of those who knew her best. Her retiring nature led her to hide her best qualities from public gaze, but they were revealed to those who enjoyed her acquaintance.
The last services were held from the home to the Christian church, last Friday afternoon at two o'clock, the pastor Rev. F.H. DeVol officiated and paid a fitting tribute to her memory.
Quartettes were touchingly rendered by J.W. Ross, Mrs. F.H. DeVol, Mrs. Clarence Lyens and Elmer Rosene.
The floral offerings were very beautiful, but not more beautiful than the face that rested so peacefully among them.
Thus would we leave her and in memory keep her as sweetly reposing among the beautiful flowers in the family lot in Bowen cemetery beside the remains of her father who preceded her to the great beyond only about three years ago.
"When a sudden sorrow comes like a cloud and night,
Wait for God's tomorrow - all will then be bright.
Only wait and trust him just a little while;
After evening teardrops shall come the morning smile."
