Obituary: Died, at the residence near Virden, Monday morning, February 25th,
884, Isaac B. DAVIDSON, aged 55 years, 9 months, and 24 days. Mr.
DAVIDSON was born in Marion County, Ill, April 30th 1828. While yet a
young man, he went to Jersey County, where in 1850, he was married to
Talitha Ann BEEMAN. In 1852, he moved to, and began the improvement
of the farm on which he most recently died. Hence it will be seen that was 
one of the earliest settlers of this vicinity, and had for 32 years been witness
of the changes and progress of the country. His recent illness was short. On
Saturday, a week preceding his death, he returned from Jersey County, and 
was taken sick Sunday night following. His condition was not thought critical
until about Friday night when he passed into an unconscious condition from
which no effort of physicians or friends could arouse him, and he thus quickly
passed away. The funeral services took place at the home, Tuesday, a.m., the
26th, and were conducted by Rev. S. M. CONNER, who addressed, for a short 
time, the family and friends gathered there. To them, some very appropriate words
of counsel and comfort were given, seeking to make the event beneficial to the
lives of the living. After a last good bye look, the body was borne to the Virden
cemetery, followed by a numerous company of relatives, neighbors, and friends,
and left with kind and sympathetic farewells.
