E.L. Davis of Union Dies, Full of Years Monroe, June 6 - Rev. Edwin L. Davis, a Baptist minister of this county died at his home early this morning. He was a pioneer Baptist minister of the county. He had reached the extremeage of 81 years but of late years has not been able to do active work. Mr. Davis was a remarkable man and has perhaps impressed his personality upon the people of his section more than any other man. Uneducated, his strong character and great native ability gave him a wonderful influence. He has been affectionately known in this county and upper Anson as "Uncle Edwin Davis." He was truly one of nature's noblemen.
