Howard Courant,   August 4, 1927
OBITUARY

Josie Sprague was born at Busby, Kansas, May 16, 1886 and departed this life 
at the Chanute hospital, July 29, 1927, age 41 years, 2 months, and 13 days.

She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Perry Sprague of Busby, Kansas.

She was united in marriage to James H. Davis, February 24, 1914.  To this 
union were born two children; Elinor, age 12 and Allen, 9.

She was an affectionate wife and mother who always had a kind word and 
cheerful smile for everyone. Josie will be loved and remembered for her spirit 
of helpfulness and many kindly deeds.

Besides her husband and children she leaves to mourn her loss: her father and 
mother, three sisters, Mrs. Jessie McDonald of Fall River, Kansas; Mrs. Eunice 
Dame of Longton, Kansas; Mrs. Winifred VanBuskirk, of Howard and one brother 
Warren of Coffeyville, Kansas.

She went about in her quiet way
     A mother so gentle and sweet,
She shouldered the burden of life each day,
     With a womanly dignity and grace
What is worth more than a life like this
     And why should we mourn today?
The father above in His infinite love
     Has a place in His garden for her.

The funeral service was conducted from the farm home near Busby.  Rev. Frank 
L. Page of Longton in charge.  A mixed quartette composed of Mesdames Crawford 
and Burford, Messrs Hainlain and Carter furnished the music.

James H. Davis with his children and other near relatives wish to express 
their deep appreciation of the many kindly services given at the death of Mrs. 
Davis.
