At Rest
A. W. Davis Died Monday A. M.
After an illness of seven months A. W. Davis passed away Monday morning, June 29, 1901. A few hours before he died he listened to the reading of the fourteenth chapter of St. John, and said, “there is so much comfort in every verse of the chapter,” soon after he went to sleep to awaken in heaven. He was born in New York State. Dec 29, 1837, moved to Michigan with his parents when about four years of age, and remained there until grown to manhood. He lived several years in Ottawa, Ill. Cavalry Volunteers. At the close of the war, he went back to Illinois sick and broken down in health, which he never regained, although able to be about most of the time. He was married in 1868 to Mary Louise Whitlock, and he moved from Illinois to St. Joseph, Mo., and from there to Davis City, Ia. Where he remained until 1893. His wife died in 1889, and he was married to Jeenie A. Sweet, March 16th 1890. He was converted early in life, joined the M. E. church, and was a faithful member, giving generously. He died as he had lived, fully trusting in Jesus. He leaves a wife and five children who mourn his death but with a hope of future reunion
