Mr.. HENRY S. DAVIS
DIED AT RIFE AGE.
Valued Citizen Of Americas
Passes Away.
a USEFUL CAREER IS CLOSED
Esteemed Citizen Dies After Long
Illness-For Forty Years a Citizen
of Americus-Fmneral Is Held from
Pres byterIan Church

Mr.. Henry s Davis, one Of the old
est and most highly esteemed citizens
of Americas, passed away peacefully at
4:3O O'Clock Saturday morning at his
residence on Jackson street after an Ill
ness exteI ding over a period of two or
three years
His long confinement to his room
and more recent severe illness had pre-
pared members of his family for the
exp scted end, aud sons and daughters
were gathered at his bedside,
And long and useful career was
thus brought to an end.
Mr.. Davis was y years of age, and
more than half of these were passed in
AmerIcus where he came from Hchley
county in 1887 For many years he
engaged in the mercantile business
here and was clerk and treasurer of
Americas until i'll health forced his
retirement,
During the ears of civil strife he
gave his best services to his state for
the Southern Oonfederacy.
While yet young man he welded
Mics Jennie G. Remphill of Wilkes
county, who many years ago passed to
her reward. Seven sons and~daugh.
tiers who blessed th1s union still sur
vive them.
Mr.. Davis was an upright Christian
gentleman, the soul of honor and int :
gritty, and no citizen of Amerieus was
more highly esteemed. He was a
Mason, member of the Presbyterian
church, and his career in life was ire
proachable light for others.
The funeral services will be conduct
ed from the Presbyterian church at 3
O'Clock this afternoon by the pastor,
Rev. j. L. Irwin. The pallbearers will
be Messrs. w. H. O. Dudley, G. w.
Bacot, W. e. Brown, P. 81. Williamp,
O. L. Ansley, s. A. Jennings, W. M.
Jones and B. 81. Worthy.
Aud an entire community will unite
in paying this final tribute of esteem
and respect.
