Mr. Davarn had been ill for the past two years. In March of 1954 he underwent major surgery. Since that time he had 13 operations but each time he would be out and around in a very short period. Mr. Davarn had been in the elevator business for a period of 40 years, and widely known all over the state. After selling the business here, he devoted all his time to the elevator at Fowler, which had been purchased shortly before. In the fall of 1948 they moved to St. Johns but there was rarely a day that he was not in Pewamo. Mrs. Davarn and daughter, Mrs. Perry, and the three sisters, Mrs. Mary Long, Miss Marge Davarn and Mrs. Ardis Ludwick have the deepest sympathy of all the community. He was a member of the Ionia Lodge B.P.O. Elks, No. 548. Funeral services were held Wednesday morning from St. Joseph’s Church in St. Johns. Burial in St. Joseph’s cemetery in Pewamo.
