The Portland Observer, Wednesday, June 28, 1905
Another old resident of this village has passed suddenly away, Mrs. Sarah 
Davis, widow of the late Asa Davis, being the victim of the grim destroyer and 
reaper.  Mrs. Davis was enjoying her usual good health for a person of her age 
up to the last Friday afternoon, when she was suddenly stricken with a serious 
illness.  She went to the front porch of her residence on Bridge street, where 
she lived alone, and attracted the attention of Mrs. Dingman, a neighbor, by 
pounding on the floor with a stick.  She soon died in Mrs. Dingman’s arms, and 
W. O. Wescott, who happened to be near,  helped carry the body into the 
house.  The forenoon of the day she died Mrs. Davis had washed a few articles 
and it is thought she overdid, a stroke of apoplexy being given as the cause 
of her death.  She was 86 years and 9 months old.

She was the second wife of Mr. Davis, her name being Way and her home Lyons 
when she became Mrs. Davis.  She has resided in Portland many years.  She 
leaves no children but is survived by a sister, Mr. Harvey Pilkinton of 
Portland, and a brother whose whereabouts are not known.  Beside these, Mrs. 
Harry Boughner of Lansing is the daughter of an adopted son.

Funeral services were held from her late home Sunday afternoon by Rev. Buell, 
of whose church deceased was a member.
