plishe! with the aid of a couple of loads
of cedar and oak boughs, arranged with
| artistic effect about the enuire hall.
George Davis died of consumption of
the lungs at II o'clock, yesterday morning,

| Therefore, short history of his life may
| not prove uninteresting to his old friends.
| Although not having resided quite long
| enough in this county to entitle him to the
appellation of old settler, he has lived in
! Saltwater continuously since 1858. Mr..
Davis was born in Lancaster, Mass, Sept.
%, 1882. He came west in 1852, land
| ing in st. Louis and arriving in
this city the following year.
| A few months after his arrival here he
was appointed deputy sheriff. The follow
| ing year he was elected to that office,
which he held for ten years. In 1865 Mr..
Davis was married to Miss Georgia
Stanchfeld. After serving for a short
time as clerk of the district court, he was
in 1876 elected county auditor, holding the
Office two terms. Deceased leaves five
children, who are now bereft of both par
ents, the mother having died some years
ago. The time for holding the funeral
| had not been made known last evening.
