He had been ill for some time but became much worse Wednesday evening. Mr Preston was born in Green Center, Roches- ter, N.Y., in 1848. He cameto the oil country at the age of 17 and start- ed drilling. He then became con- tractor and in late years he had ope- rated exclusively for himself in the Pennsylvania, New York, Indiana and Ohio oil fields. He was widely known and a highly thought of and well liked man. His surviving part- ner is S. Q. Wilson. Mr Preston's wife died 13 years ago in Pleasantville, Pa. He leaves a large family to mourn the loss of an idolized and indulgent father. The children are: John, Louis, Flor- ence, Frances, Clara, Mrs. David Kerr and Sister, M. DeSales, of the Mercy Convent, all of Titusville. He also leaves two sisters, Mrs Julia Granger, and Mrs Margaret Dodd, of Rochester N.Y., and one brother, John, a prominent oil man of Wash- ington, Pa. The deceased was a member of the B.P.O. Elks and the Knights of Columbus. The fun- eral will be held Monday morning in St. Titus Church. Titusville. Mr Preston was well known in Sis- tersville. He was a brother-in-law of Mrs. Joseph Preston and an uncle of Mrs. J.T. Loughney, formerly of this city but now of Muskogee, Okla. --- 1913 {?}
Recent Deaths ---------
John Preston. PITTSBURGH, June 11 --(Special)-- John Preston died at the City hospital in Washington, Pa., Monday. Mr. Preston was 73 years old and perhaps no man engaged in the oil industry had a wider acquaintance among operators, more particularly the old guard who be- came identified with the business in its early days. For the past 20 years he had resided in Washington and as one of the first to embark in the development of the ter- ritroy in that county. Prior to that time he had operated in the Western Pennsyl- vania fields and was very successful. Of late years he had not taken an active part in development work, but had given his attention to his oil properties in Washington County, in which he was as- sociated with W.C. McBride, formerly of that place, but now a resident of St. Louis. Mr. Preston was generous to a fault and was highly esteemed by all of his acquaintances. His genial nature made him one of the most companionable men and in his death the oil industry loses one of its men of greatest integrity. Mr. Preston was born in Rochester, N.Y. and engaged in the oil industry in Butler County in 1861. He followed the trend again to the southwest in southeastern Ohio and West Virginia. In his day he was one of the most dar- ing operators and never hesitated to back his convictions to the limit. Mr. Preston never married. He is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Julia A. Granger and Mrs M. Dodd, both of Rochester. Mr Preston was a devout Catholic and the funeral services were held at the Church of the Immaculate Conception, Washington, Pa., this morning. The body will be taken to Rochester, N.Y., where interment will take place Friday morning.

LOUGH- NEY Passed Away At Her Home in Rochester ----------- Mrs Ellen Loughney, widow of John F., died at her home in Roche- ster, N.Y., Monday afternoon about four o'clock, from cancer of the sromach with which she has been suffering for about one year. Al- though her death has been daily ex- pected for several weeks, the news of it came as a severe shock to her rel- atives and friends, by whom she was held in the greatest love and esteem. She was a native of Rochester, hav- ing died in the same house in which she was born, and will be sadly miss- ed in the community as she was one of it's most beloved and highly re- pected women.
