Obituary from unknown paper (original in a scrapbook)
First Class Scout Howard Preston of Troop No. 8, was buried Tuesday afternoon in Forest Park cemetery after a funeral service conducted at Central Christian church of which he was a member, at 3 o'clock. The memorial sermon was preached by the Rev. C.L. Jones. Many scouts of Troop No. 8 and other troops were present. The Crow Patrol of which Scout Preston was "leader" acted as pallbearers. Mr. Jones spoke very highly of the sterling qualities of Scout Preston, speaking mainly of his serious attitude towards life, his loyalty to his scout troop and his Sunday school class and his thoughtfulness of his mother. Scout Preston was one of the model scouts of the city. The flowers which banked the grave afterwards were an eloquent tribute to his memory. After the benediction when the casket had been covered Scout Bugler Raymond Grigsby of Troop No. 18 blew "taps" and Scout Bugler Rufus Palmer of Troop No. 18 sounded the echo.
