Vera: The only information I have on who Rhoda Preston's parents might be
is guesswork. She is buried in Robeson Cemetery along with at least five of
her children. There is also an "Elizabeth Preston, d 10/2/1857, 76 yrs, 11
mos, 10 days wife of Peter, no date" buried there. I am guessing Elizabeth
and Peter might be her parents. All but one of the censuses that I have
found Rhoda and William on says both of their parents were born in Maryland.
The one exception says PA.
I don't have anything on Enoch or any of the other Prestons other then info
I obtained from Allegany Co., MD marriage records 1791-1865. Henry Preston -
Elizabeth Mattingly 10/25/1805, Jacob Hartzell - Rebecca Preston
6/10/1817, Henry Busey - Delia Preston 8/22/1831, Enoch Preston -Margery
Sitten, 1/10/1833, Meshaek Preston-Elizabeth Metz 1/29/1834, George
Clice-Elizabeth Preston 10/30/1834, Wm Barnard-Joan Preston 6/17/1835.

I believe there used to be a Preston Lumber Co. in Allegany Co. about 100
years ago from what I've been reading in the Republic Archives.

Karon, do you have any information on Rhoda PRESTON's family - parents,
brothers, sisters, etc? Our ENOCH PRESTON was born in/or near Frostburg, MD
and I am desperately searching to find his parents and siblings, too. Any
help would be appreciated. I would be glad to send you what I have on
Enoch's side of the family.

Subject: [MDALLEGA] Cumberland Times Excerpts


I have been having fun looking thru the Cumberland Times Excerpts. I've been
able to find three obituaries for my gg aunts so far. Below is one I found
on Clara Cordelia Robison, daughter of William Robinson and Rhoda Preston.
It says the article is 3 paragraphs. I would love to have the rest of it.
Can anyone help me out?

Excerpts from The Cumberland Times, 1915 - July
STRICKLAND 19 Jul 1915 Mrs Della Strickland, wife of Jacob Strickland of
Garrett County just over the county line from Lonaconing, aged 57 years, was
killed on Saturday (17 Jul) as her horse became frightened and broke from
her buggy, the reins tangling onto her feet, pulling her over the rough and
dragging her on the ground. She sustained bruises, lacerations, and internal
injuries causing her death. Her daughter, Helen, was thrown from the buggy
and was not seriously hurt. She is survived by her husband and daughter
Helen and another daughter, Ruth; also, 2 sons, John at home and Harry
Strickland at Allegany. Services at Cherry Grove Church and burial in
Robeson Cemetery. [Article is 3 paragraphs].
