Capt. T.J. Davis Dead

Capt. Thos. J. Davis died at the Soldiers Home in Atlanta last Thursday 
afternoon after an illness of only a few days.  The immediate cause of his 
death was an attack of pneumonia which he contracted only a short while ago.

His remains were brought to Talbotton and interred here Saturday afternoon the 
funeral service was conducted by Rev. Bascon Sentell of the Methodist church.

Captain Davis was in Talbotton visiting friends and relatives during the 
Christmas holidays.  He was looking unusually well and his death came as quite 
a shock.  News had been received that he was sick with a cold but his illness 
was not thought to be of a serious nature.

At the time of his death, Captain Davis was about eighty years of age.  For 
over forty years he was a resident of Talbot County.  He served with 
distinction throughout the Confederate war and was noted for his courage and 
valor.  As a citizen he was honest, upright and fair in his dealing with his 
fellow man.  He was held in highest esteem by all who knew him.

Captain Davis was a brother of Mrs. Graham and an uncle of Messrs. Robert and 
George Graham with whom he resided some years.
