Norfolk Virginian January 4, 1880
Death of Mr. Alexander Davis.
The many friends of this gentleman will regret to hear of his death, which 
occurred yesterday morning at 1 o’clock at his late residence on Waverly street, 
after a long and painful illness. Mr. Davis was well known to our entire 
community. He was the son of Deacon Miles Davis of the Cumberland Street Baptist 
Church. Previous to the war, he was sailmaker in the United States Navy and on 
the withdrawal of Virginia from the Federal Union, he resigned his position and 
cast his lot with his native State, entering the Confederate Navy in a like 
capacity. Throughout the war, he remained faithful to the cause and, on the 
conclusion of hostilities, returned to Norfolk. For years he has occupied the 
position of corn measurer, giving entire satisfaction to the trade. His death 
will be lamented and, with our citizens, we extend to the afflicted family our 
sincere sympathies.
His funeral will take place today from the Cumberland Street Baptist Church at 3 
o’clock.
