Excerpt from Julia Jackson Christian

This little memorial is published simply for the sake of my grandchildren, who, having grown to maturity, can appreciate the rich heritage that is left to them in the life and character of their sainted mother.

The granddaughter is happily married to a young lawyer, Edmund Randolph Preston, a native of Virginia, but now an adopted son of North Carolina, and the old grandmother (now a great-granddame), has a lovely home with them, and the little Anna Jackson Preston is the light and joy of the household.

The grandson is following the profession of his grandfather, expecting to graduate at West Point next year, and it goes without saying that the brightest hopes are entertained for him by his family and friends.
