For ten years, when a clergyman was available, church services had been held in the home of Alexander and Mary Preston. The Prestons had emigrated emigrated form Ireland in 1837 and prospered prospered in Manvcrs, and by 1851 had built and moved their growing family into a large stone house. Col. Isaac Preston, Alexander's brother, donated land for a church and cemetery, and the white clapboard clapboard building was erected in "work bees" by the people of Lifford, to at last provide a place of worship for the community. When Rev. William Logan was appointed to the Lifford Church, it was proposed that he should use the Prestons' old house until a house could be built for him. Mary Preston insisted that it would be unseemly for the clergyman to live in a meaner dwelling than theirs, and she and her husband offered their new house for his use, moving with their family back into the old log one. from this move, she contracted pneumonia, pneumonia, and died on June 6th, 1852, at the age of 37. The church was still unfinished, but temporary flooring was laid and the first service held in St. Mary's was the funeral of Mary Preston. To commemorate her devotion devotion to the church and to the welfare of the congregation, the church was named St. Mary's. For the past five years, the devoted devoted congregation of St. Mary's, many of whom are descendants of the original original families, have been engaged in the redcdication and restoration of this lovely pioneer church. In the early hours of Ash Wednesday Wednesday this year, St. Mary's, Lifford burned to the ground. Since then, the congregation of St. Paul's Anglican Church in Bethany has been generously sharing their church with St. Mary's. On June 6th, in the spirit of their predecessors, and of Mary Preston, the congregation returned returned to Sunday morning services during the summer at 9:15 in the Church Hall across from the cemetery. cemetery. Decoration Day will be held, as always, on the first Sunday in August. August.

How many hours of sleep is typical and normal for people over the age of 601 It seems that 4.5 - 6.5 hours Is normal for this age group, The major cause of sleep problems In the elderly Is sleep apnea. An apnea Is any pause In breathing longer than ten seconds but usually lasting around one minute. For persons having trouble sleeping, It Is best to establish a bedtime routine. Go to bed at the same time each night and get up at the same time each morning. Time spent relaxing before going to bed also encourages sleep. Exercise during the day not only helps people to sleep, but also appears to promote the deeper sleep of stages three and four. However, don't exercise less than two hours before bedtime because It can stimulate the body too much making It more difficult to fall asleep. Of course, If all else falls you can follow the advice of Mark Twain: "If you can't sleep, try lying on the end of the bed ... then you might drop off".
