Presby, W F Mrs

Presby, W F Mrs , James Austin’s Sister Dead.

Mr. James Austin and daughter, Miss Mary, left today for Turon, Kansas, in response to a telegram announcing, the death of Mrs. W F Presby, a sister of Mr. Austin, who died Thursday evening. Mrs. Presby was past 77 years of age, and while she has been in failing health for some time, her death was unexpected. Heart failure was largely the cause of death.

About forty years ago Mr. and Mrs. Presby came to this county from Michigan, and after a few years residence here, they went to Turon, where they have since lived. The deceased leaves a husband, two children W F, and Mrs. C. W. Learned, who live near Turon, a brother, Mr. Austin of this city. and a sister, Mrs. Davis, of Michigan. Mrs Presby was born at Highgate, Vermont. The funeral services will be held at Turon, and interment made in the cemetery at that place, Saturday.
