      PRESTON MAN FELL DEAD

      Galt, Ont., Sept. 15. Without a word of warning while he was partaking of his breakfast, apparently in good, health, Mr. Jacob Martin, of Preston, suddenly collapsed and was dead before medical aid could be secured.

      Mr. Martin was born at Lobsann, Alsie, Germany, on Feb. 27th, 1826, but came to this country when he was quite a young man and settled at Bridgeport, where he learned the trade of a cooper. Later he removed to the States and was married at Buffalo in 1852 to Miss Elizabeth Kreisz, a young girl who came from his native town and whom he had known before he left the Old Country.

      A year after the marriage Mr. and Mrs. Martin came to Preston and they have resided there ever since. The deceased purchased the house in which he died in 1857 and for several years ran a cooper shop on Dover street.

      Deceased is survived by four daughters, Carrie, teacher at the Public school; Lizzie, at home; Mrs. Pedder, Trout Creek, and Mrs. McClelland, Embro.
