The Springfield Daily News
Mrs. John L. DAVIS, one of the best known women of this part of the county, 
died suddenly at her home here Friday evening. Her death was due to an attack 
of heart trouble, super-induced by fright. Early Friday, Mrs. Smiley, of 
Paulding Center, Ohio, a sister of Mrs. DAVIS, arrived with her little son to 
spend some time here. In the evening the little fellow went out with Mr. 
DAVIS, and became lost in the woods. A search was instituted for him, but he 
could not be found. Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Smiley went into the woods after dark 
to look for the child, fearing he met with some accident. While the search was 
being carried on, Mrs. Davis fell by the side of the road, and when Mrs. 
Smiley reached her she was unconscious. Mrs. Smiley gave the alarm, and Mrs. 
Davis was carried to her home. She lingered but a few hours and never regained 
consciousness. When she was carried back to the house the discovery was made 
that the little fellow had found his way ahead of them, and was safe and 
sound. Mrs. Davis was 60 years of age, and a most esteem able woman. She was 
the wife of John L. Davis, a civil war veteran, and one of Clark County's 
known farmers. He distinguished himself during the war and was known to all 
grand army men as the "color bearer". The funeral occurred at the Methodist 
church at Terre Haute, Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock and was largely 
attended. The burial was made in the cemetery at Terre Haute.
