DEATH OF MRS DAVIS
Thomaston was saddened beyond expression when the news
was spread abroad that Mrs. W.S. Davis had passed away
early  Sunday morning.

Mrs. Davis had been in ill health for sometimes, but her
condition was not considered serious.  On Tuesday, she
went to the home of her brother, Mr. J.P. Murray to spend
several days and was apparently feeling very well.

On Saturday morning she was taken with an attack of acute
indigestion, and on account of her weakened condition was
unable to survive the attack.

Mrs. Davis or "Miss Emma" as she was known was 59 years
of age and had been since girlhood a devout Christian and
a consistent member of the Methodist Church.  She was of a
sympathetic nature and one of the best women Upson County
has ever known. She possessed of a winning personality
and her friendship was highly prized and appreciated. her
demise removed a good woman, a kind friend, a devoted
wife and mother.

The funeral services were conducted from the home of Mr.
J.P. Murray, Monday afternoon at two o'clock by Rev R.B.
O. England.

The deceased is survived by her husband, two step
children, Col J.R. Davis of this city, Mrs. J.W. Adams of
Moultrie, two brothers, Mr. J.P. Murray of this city and
Dr. Ben Murray of Griffin.
