Death of BENJAMIN Davis.


Benjamin Davis, Esq, one of our venerable and
most respected citizens died at his home on State
| street, in this city, yesterday morning, at eight
o'clock. His age was 50 years and months.
Mr. Davis was the son of Dea Benjamin Davis
of Billerica, Mass, and born in that town
| November lst, 1889. He came to Augusta in
| 1914, and has ever since resided here. He went
| into trade in 1916 in the old Kennebec House,
| corner of Water and Winthrop streets; the front
part, afterwards used for q portion of the hotel,
was then divided into stores. Afterwards he
bought the blck store OH the opposite corner Of
Market square, which was known 10 a later gen
Grafton as the Macarthur store. At that time he
| commenced the insurance business, in connection
| with his other business. In March, 1898, he was
| made one of the Directors of the Frecmans Ma
tional Bank, and was indeed one of its charter
| members. He was shortly after chosen President
of the bank, and continued the responsible rels-
| ton TO 1858, nearly quarter of century, when
| he resigned on account of infrm health. He was
| afterwards Treasurer of the Somerset& kennebec
| Railroad. He in the fire insurance business
| from 1917 to 1866 the year after the great fire,
when he gave up the business entirely to his son,
Benjamin G. Davis, who had previously been as
| ISOLATED with him under the firm name of Benz
| Davis & Co., and who has since continued the
business
| Since that time Mr.. Davis has led quiet and
peaceful life, appearing upon the streets occasion
ally, but spending the most of his time amid the
comforts and enjoyments Of his own happy home,
where he ard his wife have spent the evening Of
life receiving the kindly ministrations of son
and his companion Mr.. Davis had been very
feeble for several months and passed off quietly,
without suffering any pain, yesterday morning
| about eight O'Clock. His aged wife died on the
| Goth of February. United in life, they were not
| long to be separated by death.
| MIR. Davis leaves two children-George N, a
manufacturer of cotton goods in Rio Janerio, and
Benjamin c.. who resides here. He has a sister
living at the age Of 90 years. But few remain
now on the stage of life who were traders in Au-
gusta, in Mr.. Davis time-John Mulliken, W. F
1Iallctt, Mr. Wendenburg, and perhaps one or two
others. Those who did business then-Dea
| Means, Mark Mason, Thos. w. Smith, W. a
Brooks. and others,-have joined the great pro
| cession of the dead" Mr.. Davis was one of the
| Oldest Freemasons in town, and was long mem
Der of the Congregational church, and showed
forth in his walk and life the realities Of his pro
| fession He cared for, trained up and educated
ten children besides his own family; and many
beyond the circle Of his own family and ncghbor
hood may truly say, when to them shall come the
intelligence of his death-"a good man has faller

day. The little one was sitting in front of a COM

feet on the hearth. A sudden gust Of wind blew
the blaze out Of the stove, setting her clothes on
fire. Before assistance came the poor child was
literally burned to death. DR.. A. r. G. Smith of
Whitefeld was called, but was too late to render
any relief and the little patient breathed its last
in two hours after the accident.
