The death is a shock to the community in which the Davis household has been established on a part of the original Davis farm since the marriage, or for more than half a century. The deceased was a Christian woman, high in the councils of her church, the Zion Lutheran, and enjoying the love and deep esteem of all who knew her. Mr. Davis and sons, and the sister and brothers have the undivided sympathy of the county. The funeral services will be held Sunday afternoon, January 27, at 1 o'clock at Zion Lutheran church of which deceased was a member. She was the daughter of Wiley Blount Gill and Messiniah Lisheby Deason.
Death is insatiable.
The shadow of Azrael's wings fails with icy power on the young as well as the old. And they come so often. Young and old he claims alike and the fairest blossoms are often his. One by one we must see our loved ones go, and neither tears nor prayers can melt his stony heart. Enose Kitch was son of Rev. E.H. Kitch, perstor of the Lutheran church at DeSoto.
