FRANK C. DAVIS DIES SUDDENLY
FORMER NEWTON COUNTY MAN DIES AT DECATUR HOME SATURDAY NIGHT FOLLOWING APOPLEXY.

     Mr. Frank C. Davis, formerly of this county, but for the past several 
years a resident of Decatur and Atlanta, died at his home in the former city 
Saturday night, after a stroke of apoplexy. Mr. Davis was until he left this 
county, one of its best known citizens and numbered his friends by his 
acquaintances. He took a prominent part in local affairs and represented this 
county in the legislature and held other important places of trust at the hands 
of his people.
     The Atlanta Constitution of Sunday had the following to say of his death:
     “Frank C. Davis, 57 years old, oil inspector for the Atlanta district, 
former member of the state legislature from Newton County, and a well known 
real estate man, with offices in Atlanta, died at 12:45 o’clock this morning, 
at his home at Decatur, following an attack of apoplexy at 8 o’clock last 
night. Mr.  Davis had been subject to apoplexy, having had several previous 
minor attacks. He was at home with members of his family, when the fatal attack 
came.”
     “Mr. Davis is survived by his wife, Mrs. Eliza Stevens Davis, a native of 
Baldwin county; four sons, Walter Robert, Boykin and Grant Davis, and four 
daughters, Misses Emily, Eliza, Mary and Frances Davis.”
     “He was a native of Newton County which he represented several times in 
the state legislature, and was prominently known in state politics. Last spring 
he was a delegate from the fifth district to the democratic state convention 
which indorsed the candidacy of Oscar W. Underwood for president.”
     The funeral occurred in this city Monday morning, and the interment took 
place in Westview cemetery.
