Apparently well Mr. Davis had gone about his daily tasks and was in town only that morning. Mrs. Davis was alone with him at the time and summoned help at once, but his physician found that death came instantly. Mr. Davis was one of those citizens who was respected by all who knew him and his friends were counted by his acquaintances. Funeral services were held Friday afternoon at the Methodist church with Reverend Milo W. Rose reading the last rites.

A flower banked chancel rail formed a background for the casket that bore all that remained mortal of a man who meant much to family and friends. Music was furnished by Mesdames D. C. Harvey, L. A. Grimm Messrs G. L. Dimick and Fay Hatch, with Mrs. O. E. Walker at the piano. The songs were No Night There, Crossing the Bar and Abide With Me.

Pall bearers were relatives of the deceased, Elviro [sic] Carpenter, Bert Anderson, Ernest Anderson, Murl Anderson, Oscar York, and Howard Jones.
