OBITUARY

Charles Davis, 70, a lifelong resident of Rock County, died early Sunday
morning at the home of his daughter, Mrs. K. D. Shaw of Janesville. While
he had been in poor health for the past four years Mr. Davis was able to be
out Saturday night, and recently attended the fair here in the best of
health.

Mr. Davis was born in the town of Porter, Feb. 16, 1854. The early part of
his life was spent in Porter and Union, and for many years was a member of
the firm of Asmus and Davis of this city.

Mr. Davis is survived by five children--three sons, Will Davis, Barron;
Charles Davis, Magnolia; and Joseph Davis, Seattle, Wash; two daughters,
Mrs. K. D. Shaw, Janesville; and Mrs. Roy Griswold, Seattle, Wash; six
grandchildren and one great grandchild; two brothers, T. C. Davis,
Janesville, and A. L. Davis, Minnesota.

He was a member of the Cooksville Masonic Lodge and E. F. U.

The funeral services will be held at the home of his daughter, Mrs. K. D.
Shaw, of Janesville at 12:30 p.m. Friday, after which the remains will be
brought to Evansville where services will be held in the Methodist church
here, interment being in Maple Hill cemetery.

Ever square in his dealings and faithful to his promises, Mr. Davis in his
many years of residence in this city made many friends who deeply regret
his death. Mr. Davis was a man who loved his fellow man and as a result he
was loved and respected by all who knew him.
