Preece Family Tree

Sudden Death of Mrs. Preece, Porth.

We regret to announce the death of Mrs. Preece, wife of Mr. John Preece, ironmonger, and general furnisher, Porth. The deceased lady, too, was sister of Miss John (Cymmer Schools), and Mr. J. W. John (Ynyshir) and Mr. Tom John (Llwynypia). On Tuesday evening, Mrs. Preece attended one of the Porth Y.M.C.A.'s lectures, and on Wednesday morning declared that she had slept better than ever. She attended to the household matters on Wednesday morning, and one of the last orders given by her was to the servant to "dish" the dinner. She was soon after this unconscious, and about 4.15 o'clock she succumbed. There is a large family of six young children. Profound sensation has been created in the district, as Mr. and Mrs. Preece have always been known as generous and hospitable people. Great sympathy is expressed with Mr. Preece and the immediate relatives.
