Mrs. J.T. Davis Dies In Columbus

The friends of Mrs. J.T. Davis, of Prattsburg, who ten days ago was stricken 
with paralysis while visiting at the home of her son at Columbus, will regret 
to learn that her condition remains critical, and physicians and relatives have 
but little hope of her recovery.  Some days ago it was believed that she would 
be able to be removed home, but the change now seems impossible.

				--------------------------

Since writing the above Judge A.H. Riley received a telegram that Mrs. Davis 
died at the home of her son Mr. A.W. Davis of Columbus, Ga., Monday afternoon 
at 1:30 o’clock, and that the remains would reach Howard today at 3 p.m.  The 
interment will take place at Prattsburg this afternoon.

This is sad intelligence to the many friends of Mrs. Davis, who was highly 
esteemed as a Christian lady by all who knew her.  She was a member of the 
Antioch Baptist Church and had been for 40 years and during this long period of 
time she exemplified by a Godly life and circumspect walk that her life was hid 
with Christ in God.

Mrs. Davis was 56 years of age and up to the time she was first stricken with 
paralysis she enjoyed good health and participated in an active life.

Besides her husband, Mr. Tom Davis, she leaves three daughters, namely: Mrs. 
A.H. Riley, Mrs. Clyde Boggs and Mrs. Ruth Jarrell and five sons: Mr. C.J. 
Davis, of Harrolson, Mr. A.W. Davis of Columbus, and Messrs. C.E., John and 
Arthur Davis of Prattsburg to mourn their loss.

Death of Mrs. J.T. Davis

Again death’s angel has visited out county and has taken from among us a most 
worthy and Christian woman, Aunt Julia Davis, which occurred while visiting her 
son, Mr. A.W. Davis, at Columbus.

She was in the 56th year of her age and had spent a lifetime of usefulness, as 
a wife, mother and neighbor.

For many years she had been a member of the Missionary Baptist Church at 
Antioch, and during that period of her life she had manifested great faith in 
the blessings of her Saviour.

Aunt Julia had been in feeble health for more than a year, but even until the 
last moments of her life, was she ever heard to murmur or complain at the will 
of the Lord.

While in feeble health for so long a time her death which came almost 
unexpected was a severe shock to her relatives and friends.

As a mother she was kind and gentle, as a wife she was affectionate and true, 
and as a neighbor she couldn’t be surpassed in deeds of kindness and charity.

She leaves an affectionate husband, eight children, besides many relatives and 
friends to mourn their loss.

Her remains were interred in the family cemetery at Prattsburg following an 
impressive funeral service at the Methodist church conducted by her pastor, 
Rev. M.T. Gaultney
