MRS. EVA DAVIS HAS GONE TO REST
     Died, at an Atlanta hospital, Saturday, June 30th, 1928, Mrs. Eva Davis 
aged 33.
     Her husband lost his life in the World’s War leaving her with one boy to 
mourn his going away.
     She is survived by her son, Baxter Davis; her mother and father, Mr. and 
Mrs. S. B. Kimbell; one brother, Mr. Dean Kimbell; and four sisters, Mrs. J. S. 
Rodgers, Mrs. A. H. Tingle, Mrs. F. W. Price and Miss Allie Kimbell.
     Among us all she ranked always as a woman of culture, refinement, 
sympathy, a kind neighbor, devoted mother and a true friend, and withal a woman 
of heroic mould in bravely meeting the stern requirements and often the 
disappointments of life.
     “God touched her with His finger, and she slept,” the poet wrote. So may 
we say of this dear life, “God touched her with His finger, and she slept,” but 
not until a beautiful life was lived, a noble example of patience, fidelity to 
truth and faith were given. Not until visions of a heavenly life, in Christ 
Jesus, had cheered and illumined the valley of the shadow. And now, that she 
sleeps, memory takes up the harp of life, and suiting the strings, finds that 
her virtues melt into music. So it ever is, when a life is nobly and divinely 
lived.
     Vainly groping after the infinite meanings, we cry: Why should so 
precious, so necessary a life be taken? The old, old question which will never 
be answered till the veil of our mortal vision be rent by immortality, and we 
see, not as now, darkly, but face to face. Then also may we behold the heavenly 
mansion which perhaps she was called thither, thus early, to help prepare for 
her loved ones.
     Interment was in Locust Grove Cemetery, D. T. Carmichael funeral director 
in charge.
     The last services were held at the Locust Grove Baptist Church at 3:30 
o’clock, Rev. J. L. Clegg officiating. Songs were touchingly rendered by the 
choir. The flowers were many and beautiful, but not more beautiful than the 
face that rested so peacefully among them. Beautiful in life, beautiful in 
death, but far more beautiful in the glorious resurrection morn. Flowers seemed 
to be the best emblem we have to express our love, for we wreaths them around 
the cradle, the marriage altar and the tomb. Thus would we leave her, and in 
memory keep her; as sweetly reposing among the beautiful and fragrant flowers.
