Malcolm, Davis K.

  On Monday morning at 8:30 o'clock, one of Somerset County's prominent men was 
called from his life her to the great beyond, when Davis D. [K?] Malcolm, the 
widely known merchant of Coal Run, passed away. For the last year Mr. Malcolm 
had been ailing and going backwards in health and for the last three or four 
months his condition had become more critical. Dr. Swank of Elk Lick had been 
attending him. The cause of his death was diabetes. He was aged fifty years and 
is survived by his aged mother who is 81 years old and is making her home with 
her only daughter in West Virginia. He is also survived by one sister referred 
to above, and two brothers, A. W. of Shaw Mines, and John at Coal Run. Davis K. 
had never been married and he and his brother John also unmarried had for a 
number of years kept house by themselves at Coal Run, above the store, but later 
they had a housekeeper, Miss Davis, to take care of the home. Mr. Malcolm was 
widely known throughout the county and was held in high regard by all who knew 
him. He had been for some years engaged in the mercantile business at Coal Run, 
where he had established a large trade. Mr. Malcolm had been a member of the 
Methodist Church. The service and interment took place in the St. Paul Reformed 
Church and cemetery at Keim, yesterday. His pastor, Rev. W. W. Wagner, 
officiated, assisted by Rev. E. S. Hassler. The funeral was very largely 
attended.
