                                 DEATHS  
                                 ------  
  
   DAVIS, Mrs. Clarissa Satterlee Davis died at the home of her daughter,  
Mrs. Clara Crain, just west of Geneseo, at 3:45 p.m., Friday, Nov. 8, 1901,  
aged 80 years, 5 months and 2 days.  
   Clarissa Satterlee comes from an old and honored English family. She was  
born at Newporet, NY, June 5, 1821, and married Nathaniel Davis at Newport  
in 1842. They came to Geneseo in 1871. Her husband died 8 years ago last  
June, and she has lived with her daughter since. There are two children,  
Mrs. Clara Crain of Geneseo, and Thomas Davis of Grinnel IA, the latter has  
been confined to his bed with creeping paralysis. To these are extended the  
warm sympathies of many friends.  
  Mrs. DAvis was a member of the Congregational Church. The funeral was held  
at the church on Monday, Rev. Millard officiating.  
  A sweet and thoughtful token upon her bier were 50 roses, representing her  
age from Mr. and Mr. O.W. Hoit.  
  O. D. Kinney, a cousin and noted lawyer of Duluth, was with Mrs. Davis in  
her last months.  
   She was a sweet, lovable lady whose thoughts and deebs were conceived in  
kindness.  
  Having ascended to the topmost round of the Ladder of Life, she stept into  
the skies."
