"DAVIS--Mrs. Clarissa Satterlee Davis died at the home of 
her daughter, Mrs. Clara Crain, just west of Geneseo, at 
3:45 p.m., Friday, Nov. 8, 1901, aged 80 years, 5 months 
and 2 days.

Clarissa Satterlee comes from an old and honored English 
family. She was born at Newport, N.Y., June 5, 1821, and 
married Nathaniel Davis at Newport in 1842. They came to 
Geneseo in 1871. Her husband died 8 years ago last June 
and she has lived with her daughter since. There are two 
children, Mrs. Clara Crain of Geneseo and Thomas Davis of 
Grinnell, Ia. The latter has been confined to his bed two 
years with creeping paralysis. To these are extended the 
warm sympathies of many friends.

Mrs. Davis was a member of the Congregational Church. The 
funeral was held at the church on Monday, Rev. Millard 
officiating.

A sweet and thoughtful token upon her bier were 80 roses, 
representing her age from Mr. and Mrs. O.W. Hoit. O.D. 
Kinney, a cousin and noted lawyer of Duluth, was with Mrs. 
Davis in her last moments. She was a sweet, lovable lady, 
whose thoughts and deeds were conceived in kindness. Having 
ascended to the topmost round of the Ladder of Life, she 
stept into the skies."
