JOHN DAUGHTRY DAVIS

   John Daughtry Davis, highly esteemed resident of Sedley, died at his home 
Tuesday, May 2, after an illness of two weeks.  He was a native of Southampton 
County, born near Sedley April 14, 1852.

   Mr. Davis was known and admired by his friends and neighbors as an exemplary 
Christian character, a man of high honor and integrity, numbering a host of 
friends.  He united with Black Creek Church in young manhood, later transferring 
his membership to Sedley Baptist Church.

   He was twice married, his first wife being Miss Nettie Camp, and from this 
union he is survived by the following children and grandchildren; J.E. and E.P 
Davis of Norfolk, Mrs. W.C. Andrews of Zuni, Mrs. W.L. Johnson of Sedley, Mrs. 
H.C. Justice of Norfolk and Miss Sallie Davis of New York City; grandchildren, 
Clinton Davis, Leo, Billy and Russell Andrews, Annie Davis and Willard Johnson. 
He is also survived by his second wife who was Miss Arean Drake.

   Mr. Davis was one of the oldest citizens of the village, both in age and in 
the standpoint of residence, and his familiar form will be greatly missed.

   Funeral services were conducted from his late home Wednesday afternoon at 3 
o’clock by his Pastor, Rev. Rives Ferguson and Rev. J.A. Stanfield, and 
interment was made in the Camp family cemetery.  Pallbearers were: N.W. Wills, 
G.S. Cornwell, J.H. Boyd, J.C. Bradshaw, T.F. Hundley, L.L. Bradshaw, K.G. 
Howell, and H.C. Johnson. Friends of the family served as honorary pallbearers.
