PORTIA DAVIS PASSES AWAY 



The people of the community were shocked when the word came Sunday from Chicago 
that Portia Jeanette Davis was dead. She was the youngest daughter of Mrs. J. 
K. Davis and was born May 7, 1902, at Maquoketa, Iowa and passed away at the 
home of Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Parker, 4643 Malden Street, Chicago, Illinois. 



Portia was a graduate of M. H. S., being a member of the class of 1919, and at 
the age of ten years she was baptized in the Congregational Church of which 
place she has always remained a member. 



She leaves to mourn her loss the heartbroken mother and sister, Mrs. Harry 
Wirth of Elwood, her father preceded her in death July 4, 1919, also other 
relatives and a host of friends who regret to hear of the death of one so 
young. 



Funeral services were held Thursday afternoon at two o'clock from the home of 
the grandparents, Mr. and mrs. A. J. York. Rev. Kidder officiated and burial 
was at Mt. Hope Cemetery, Maquoketa.
