Captain Davis
Passed Away Yesterday
Old Steamboat Man Succumbed To Attack of Heart Trouble
Captain Daniel W. Davis died at his home, No. 951 Fort Street, Sunday morning at 9:30 o'clock.
His death is attributed to an affection of the heart. Capt. Davis had been feeble for some time. The attack which resulted in his death came upon him Tuesday and he took to his bed, suffering greatly. Sunday morning he felt considerably better. He was raised from his bed and placed in a chair for a time. He remarked that he thought he would go back to bed and then suddenly slipped forward in his chair. His heart fluttered a few times and he was dead.
Capt. Davis was a well known citizen. He had lived in Marietta for thirty seven years and has many friends among people. By occupation he was a steamboat pilot and captain until he retired from active life, owing to advancing years and falling strength.
He was a son of Dudley Davis and was born in Waterford township on February 7th, 1825. He is survived by his second wife, a son, R. A. Davis of Cleveland and two step-children, Charles M. Coffman and Miss Belle Coffman.
Funeral services will be held at the house Tuesday at 2:30 o'clock, P.M. Reverend E. A.
Coll will conduct them and interment will be made in Oak Grove.
