DEATH OF JACOB (sic) REDMAN DAVIS
Jacob (sic) Redman Davis, a prominent and life long resident of the Emden community died, suddenly at 1:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon at his home in that city. Death followed a heart attack while he was walking in the yard of his home. Although he had suffered for several years with heart trouble, he was apparently in his usual health Sunday.
He was 81 years, 2 months and 16 days old and was born on a farm northeast of Emden. His parents were early settlers to Shelby county, where he was reared and where he became one of the community's most prominent and influential citizens. His wife, whose madien name was Miss Ollie Moreland, died twelve years ago.
He is survived by two adopted daughters, Mrs. William Wagner and Mrs. Joseph Ruth, of near Philadelphia; four brothers, Union, Clay, Bulcher and Sam Davis, all of near Emden and one sister, Mrs. A. L. Graves, of Palmyra. Mr. Davis will be sadly missed in his home and by his neighbors, to whom he was always kind and considerate. He was held in the highest esteem by all who knew him and his acquaintanceship was wide.
The remains were prepared for burial by the Allen funeral home and funeral services were held Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock at Emden, conducted by the Rev. Tom Woods. Mr. Davis was a prominent member of the Masonic lodge at Hunnewell and members of that fraternity had charge of a service following the church rites, consigning the body of Mr. Davis to the tomb with full Masonic honors.
