The Cairo Messenger, Friday, July 5, 1918
In Memory of Mr. B. C. Davis

In the providence of God He has seemed pleasing in His sight to remove from our 
midst our beloved brother Davis.  He leaves a large family to mourn his death.  
We feel the sad loss of him.  We feel our loss is his eternal gain.

Brother Davis united himself with the Missionary Baptist in his early manhood 
and lived with them for about forty years.  After which he came dissatisfied 
and asked a home with the Primitive Baptist and lived with them until death.  
Brother Davis was a well known citizen of Mitchell County.  He was born in 
February, 1847 and died June 22nd, 1918.  He leaves a wife, six sons, and two 
daughters to mourn his death.

Brother Davis was attending the annual meeting at Live Oak Church, Grady 
County, Saturday.  After service he went home with J. W. Mills to spend the 
night.  They were sitting on the front porch about seven o'clock, when Mr. 
Davis suddenly passed away.  By the time the family of Mr. Mills realized there 
was anything the matter with him, he was dead.

The remains were taken to Hopeful cemetery, where the body was laid to rest.  
The services were conducted by Elder J. W. Gardner of Camilla and Elder J. J. 
Johnson, of Grady County.

Brother Davis was a faithful member of the Primitive Baptist Church and was one 
of the oldest citizens in the county at the time of his death.  He had a good 
and kind disposition, and was generally loved by everyone who knew him.
