From Mondays Daily.
Word has been received in this city
announcing the death of William w.
Davis, which occurred Saturday after
noon, Nov. le, at Oakland, CAL, after
an illness of two months.
Mr.. Davis was native of Wales
where his birth occurred Jan. %, 1929,
at Rhiwlas, Llanf Langel, Montgomery
shire, his parents being William and
Alice Hughes Davis. His ancestors on
! his fathers side had resided at Rhiwlas
for more than four centuries In lS48
his parents with their nine children emil
grated to America making their home
at Racine, Wis.
He was married Jan. &c, 1858, to
Miss Ellen Baxter, daughter of Thomas
and Elizabeth Baxter of Racine and
the following April removed to South
Bend, Mimi, where he conducted gen
eral store and handled grain. In 1865
he came to Mankato and engaged in
the grocery business, returning to South
Bend i'm 1881 Here he conducted
store and served as postmaster until
the spring of 1896 when he decided to
retire from active life. He disposed of
his business interests and with his wife
removed to Minneapolis where two
daughters resided His wife died April
II; 1901, and the two years following
were spent at the home of his son, W.
w. Davis Jr. in this city.
In November, 1903, he decided to visit

his daughters who had removed to Oak

his daughters who had removed to Oak
land, CAL So much pleased was he
with the climate and so much benefited
by the change that he decided to make
his home there, believing it to be the
ideal place for elderly people. But even
the sunshine of California cannot stay
the hand of death and from the begin
ming of his illness grave apprehensions
have been entertained regarding his re-
eovery. Two weeks ago more serious
symptoms developed and his sons, w. w.
Davis Jr. of this city and Thomas B.
Davis of Mamma, Mich, were summoned
to his bedside where they have remain
ed ever since. Besides the two sons
mentioned Mr.. Davis is survived by two
daughters, Mrs. Owen Williams whose
husband is general agent for the Wells
Fargo Express company in the Hawaiian
Islands and resides at Honolulu, and
Miss Alice Davis, a teacher in the Oak
land schools. He is also survived by
one sister, Mrs. Ann Evans of Williams
burg, Iowa, and two brothers, Edward
Davis of Racine, Wis, and Morris Evans
who lives in Nebraska.
Mr. Davis was a man of strong con-
victions and the strictest integrity. Po-
litically he was a staunch republican
but always outspoken for good govern
ment From his youth he had been ac-
tive in church work, having been con-
nected with the First Presbyterian
church some years ago, but more re-
Gently with the Welsh c. M. church of
this city.
He was very fond of music and in
early days in Wisconsin was a member
of the Cambrian Male quartette which
was widely known.
Mr.. Davis had genial disposition and
made many friends who will regret to
learn of his death.
The funeral was held today in the
Pilgrim Congregational church of Oak
land where he was a member and dea-
con. The body will be accompanied to
this city by his two sons and will be
inferred in the family lot at Minneopa
cemetery.
