Davis Jr., the 14 year old son of Rev. and Mrs. W.A. Davis, died Saturday morning about 2:30 o'clock after a brief illness of pneumonia. He seemed to realize several days before his death that the end was approaching, and called his father to his bedside and talked with him about death and his future, telling him that death had no horror for him, that the future was bright and clear and that he would soon make his home in Heaven. He was a bright boy and a special favorite among his school mates. John, as he was familarly known, was born at Lylerly [Chattooga Co., Ga.] on Sept. 30, 1895 and was named for his grandfather who has spent a half century preaching the gospel, and who is now on a bed of affliction at his home in Newnan. He joined the Senoia Baptist church in April 1906 and was baptized by Rev. J.W.R. Jenkins. The funeral service was conducted at the Baptist church Sunday morning at 11 o'clock by Rev. Chas. E. Hitt, assisted by Revs. J.W. R. Jenkins, E.W. Jones and C.C. Carson and the remains were laid to rest in the city cemetery. Six of his young friends, Hunter Towns, Dan Higgins, Pyron Connally, J.R. Hutchison and Paul Horton and Gus Huddleston acted as pall bearers. The floral offerings were pretty and elaborate.
