On Wednesday night, Dec. 6, 19l6, at the home of her sister, Mrs. Wm. Miller, in Hodgenville, Mrs. Sallie Lee Preston, after a long and painful illness, entered calmly, sweetly, and peacefully in the Great Beyond.
Her death, although not unexpected, came as a sad shock to her family and friends. Everything that mortal hands could do, was done to prolong her life but God chose otherwise and her spirit has only winged its way from this sinful world of sorrow and death to the blessed and beautiful realms of eternal life. She was born in Belmont, Kentucky, and lived here the greater part of her life, where she leaves many warm friends who knew her from childhood. She was married about thirty-five years ago to Mr. W. H. Preston, who with one son survives her. She had a bright and cheery disposition and her presence was always sunshine, and conceived all along of failing powers and approaching dissolution. No word of complaint or impatience ever escaped her lips. But the Heavenly Father has called her where there is no suffering nor sorrow and loved ones are never parted.
May God's grace sustain the husband and son, brothers and sisters a few more years when they too will cross over and join her in that better land.
The last rites were performed by Rev. Bell at the Lebanon Junction Baptist Church and with the beautiful hymn, "Oh, Think of the Home over There", her remains were tenderly borne to the cemetery at Lebanon Junction there to rest and await the resurrection morn.
