Mr.  Davies  has  been  in  ill  health  for  several
years,  but  it  was only  recently  that  his  illness
became  acute.  He  is  65  years  old. Born  in
Zebulon,  Ga.,  the  son  of  Rev.  F. B.  Davies,
founder  of Park  Street  Methodist  Church.  Mr.  Davies
had  spent  his  entire business  career  of  forty-two
years  with  the  printing  house,  one of  the  largest 
in  the  South,  which  he  organized.

In  the  religious  life  of  the  community  Mr.  Davies
always  took the  keenest  interest.  He  was  an
organizer  of  the  Billy  Sunday Club,  now  the  men's 
Evangelistic  Club,  and  was  its  first  president. He 
was  for  many  years  a  teacher  in  the  Sunday
school  of  the Park  Street  Methodist  Church,  which
his  father  had  founded, and  a  large  class  of
young  women,  the  Hall-Davies  Class,  is named  for
him.  He  also  served  for  seven  years  as
superintendent of  Park  Street  Sunday  school,  and
the  same  length  of  time  as first  superintendent  of
Wesley  Memorial  Sunday  school.

For  seven  years,  too,  in  his  earlier  life,  he
had  been  super-intendent  of  the  St.  John  Sunday
school.  The  last  few  years  he had  been  a  member
of  Glenn  Memorial  Methodist  Church  and an  associate
teacher  of  the  Men's  Bible  Class.

Also  interested  in  church  co-operation  and  in
inter-racial  relations, he  had  served  as  a  member
of  committees  on  this  work  for  many years.

Mr.  Davies  was  an  enthusiastic  golfer,  and  played 
frequently  at the  Druid  Hills  Golf  Club,  of  which 
he  was  a  charter  member, until  his  health  failed. 
He  was  a  thirty-second  degree  mason, and  a
Shriner.

Surviving  Mr.  Davies  are  his  wife,  the  former
Miss  Mary  Lou Aldredge;  a  daughter,  Mrs.  Hal
Curtis  Miller;  four  grandsons, Marvin  Davies  Miller,
Hal  Curtis  Miller,  Jr.,  Henry  Miller,  and Orme?
McAlister  Miller  and
