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
