  Obituary- Davis, Infant daughter DIED Died, Saturday morning, May 31st, aged about two months, the little daughter of Wesley and Samantha Davis. The death of this little girl came rather suddenly, and seemed to overwhelm the afflicted parents with grief. She was sick only two or three days, and looked, as she reposed in her white casket, more like a babe that at the bidding of the mother's lullaby had folded its arms and fallen asleep, than like one from whom the light of life had fled and around whom the curtains of the grave were so soon to be drawn. Funeral services were impressively performed Monday afternoon by the Rev. J.M. Whitehead, who based his remarks upon the inspiring answer given by the Shunammite women, who when asked concerning her departed child said, (II Kings IV:26), "It is well with the child." Suitable hymns were sung by a number of young people, who had assembled for that purpose. The remains were borne from the house to the hearse, and from the hearse to the grave, by youthful bearers, namely: Misses Emma Miller, Pet Lawrence, Maude Miles, and Mollie Starkey. Mr. and Mrs. Davis feel thankful to the many kind friends who gathered around them in their season of sorrow, some of whom were strangers until sympathy with the bereaved brought them to the house of mourning.
