The Huntsville Weekly Democrat, 4 Jan 1882
Death of Col. Zebulon P. Davis.
----------
   Col. Zebulon P. Davis died at this residence in this city, on the morning 
of the 3rd of January, 1882.  The deceased was born near Lexington, in the 
State of Kentucky, on the 16th day of January, 1816, and would, in a few days, 
have been sixty-six years old.  Col. Davis has held several public positions 
of honor and trust, and was, we believe, faithful and honest in the discharge 
of the duties devolving upon him.  He was an Elector for this Congressional 
District on the Whig ticket in 1848, a Lieutenant in the Greek war, and was 
Mayor of this city two or three times before the war, and for four successive 
terms since the war.  In all of these different relations to the public, he 
was kind and courteous to those with whom he was brought in contact, yet firm 
and decided in the discharge of his official duties.  Col. Davis was, pre-
eminently, a charitable man – always ready and prompt to aid the poor and the 
helpless.  In his family relations, he was a considerate and tender father and 
a devoted husband.  His illness was protracted, and his suffering great, yet 
he bore his affliction without murmur or complaint.  Peace to his ashes!
