Samuel Halston, born at Sheep Bridge Square, New-bold Parrish, Derbyshire, England, May 22, 1861; he left England October 21, 1882. He leaves a wife and an adopted daughter, Bertha. He was the father of ten children, all of whom died in infancy. He leaves an aged father and mother, two brothers, six sisters and numerous friends to mourn his loss. He was well respected by all who knew him, for he was a quiet, in-offensive, and good man.
