A Former Ebensburger Dies in Iowa 

Mr. R. R. Davis, the insurance agent of the East ward, received a telegram Wednesday 
announcing the death of his brother, Mr. Thomas R. Davis of Iowa City, Iowa, at the 
advanced age of 80 years.

The deceased was raised on a farm owned by Jonathan Jones of Cambria township and 
lived there until the Civil War broke out when he enlisted and performed good service to 
his country through that conflict.  He was one of those who were unfortunate enough to 
be captured and confined in Andersonville prison.

Mrs. Thomas L. Jones, of Cambria township, is a sister of the deceased and Messrs. 
John D. and N. I. Roberts and Mrs. R. E. Smith, all of Johnstown are cousins. The 
FREEMAN was unable to secure further particulars.
