The New Enterprise Dec. 5, 1901
In Memorium

   Our town and community sadly shocked on Saturday, Nov. 23, when it was
announced that Mrs. Turner Davis had suddenly passed from this scene of toil and
conflict to the world of brightness and glory above. She had been ill only a few
days but her illness had caused no serious apprehensions until a few hours
before her death.

   Mrs. Sarah Davis (nee Rogers), was born in Madison county, Florida, November
4th, 1843. On November 1st, 1868, she was married to Mr. W. Turner Davis. Eight
children were born to this union, five of whom are still living and rise up and
call her blessed.She possessed an uncommon womanly energy and was ambitious for
her children to be educated and successful in this life and prepared for the
great life beyond. She did the work of a Godly mother and a devoted wife. I
don't think I ever knew a more devoted mother. In turn her husband and her
children were beautifully devoted to her in a marked degree. Her's was a noble
life, a useful life, a womanly life, a christian life.

   At the age of eighteen she dedicated her life to the Master and united with
the Methodist church in which she remained a consistent and useful member until
she was transferred to the church triumphant. ...
