Obituary
Preston B. Logsdon
Preston B., oldest son of Philip and Parine Logsdon was born on the old home farm near Eureka on
August 5, 1875 and departed this life on February 11, 1939, being 63 year, 6 months, and 6 days of age.
He grew to manhood in Luce township and was educated in the common schools.
On Nov. 23, 1898 he was united in marriage with Miss Mollie Lankford of Newburg, whose father John Lankford was a successful steamboat pilot.
To this happy union one daughter, Ellen, came to bless their home. She was idolized by her parents and no pains or expense were spared in rearing and educating their only child. But alas their hopes were blasted when she was taken from them shortly after graduating from nurses' training school. This was a severe blow from which her parents never fully recovered although they have endeavored to make the
most of life and do what they could for
the benefit of mankind.
Press, as he was familiarly called was a kind, indulgent husband and father, a good neighbor, an honest
upright citizen and a Christian. He was a member of the M. E. church and belonged to the Knights of Pythias lodge
at Hatfield.
Surviving are the widow, whose constancy and devotion during their many years of wedded life was unusual.
He also leaves a half-sister, Miss Lillie Logsdon of Seattle, Washington, two nephews and a niece who live in Montana, and a nephew in Indianapolis.
Funeral services were held at the home, near Eureka, at 2 p.m. Wednesday, with the Rev. J. E. Hedrick
officiating. Burial was in the Shiloh
(Shiloh is crossed off) Sunset Hill cemetery.
