  Mrs. Davis, who had been in declining health several years, suffered several

Mrs. W. S. McPeters was an invalid in the Davis home several years before her
death in 1946.  A sister Mrs. Lou Gillette was living there at the time of her 
death last year.
  A native of Bee County, Mrs. Davis was born Cynthia Ann McPeters, August 4, 1870,
and named for the cousin Cynthia Ann Parker of pioneer fame.  She moved to Kimble
with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John McPeters in 1877, grew up on Johnson Fork of
the Llano and was married on James River.  She and her husband later moved  to Menard
County where they farmed and at one time operated a general mercantile and grocery 
store in Hext.  She had been a member of the Church of Christ about 60 years.
  Survivors include the brother, four nieces, four nephews, and a number of great 
nieces and nephews.
  Pall bearers were S. O. Durst, Dan Fairley, C. W. Walker, Clay Secrest, Elmer
