ALEX DAVIDSON DIES HERE VERY SUDDENLY

Stricken With Heart Failure While At Work Tuesday.
The community was very much shocked Tuesday afternoon on 
learning that Mr. Alex Davidson had suddenly dropped dead at 
1:00 P.M. while at his work in the city market. Death was due to 
heart failure, from which the deceased had been suffering for 
some time, but apparently not seriously.

Mr. Maurice Trahan, Mr. Davidson's son in-law, who was with him
at the time noticed that he was not feeling well and asked 
permission to take him home, or to call a doctor, but Mr. 
Davidson replied that was not necessary, that he would be 
feeling all right in a few minutes. However, noticing that his 
condition was growin (sic) worse, Mr. Trahan called for Dr. 
Arceneaux, who arrived just as Mr. Davidson was breathing his 
last.

The remains were taken in the hearse of Miller Hardware & 
Furniture Co., early Wednesday morning to Midland where it was 
placed abord (sic) the train for transportation to Abbeville, 
deceased's old home, at which place funeral services were 
conducted Wednesday.

Deceased was a native of Vermilion parish, a live long resident 
of Southwest Louisiana, a man of wide acquaintance, highly 
respected by many friends. He was 63 years, 10 months and 1 day 
old at the time of his death.

Deceased is survived by his wife, one daughter, Mrs. Maurice 
Trahan, a son, Percy Davidson, who had been employed at the R. 
Smith store, the past three years, and a number of other 
relatives.

He and his wife came to Welsh about two years ago, since which 
time he had been associated with Mr. Trahan in the conduct of 
the City Meat Market.

The deep sympathies of many friends here in Welsh are extended 
to the bereaved family. - Welsh Journal
