HERMAN DAVIS.

Died-At his home, Ironton, Mo-,
Friday, April 22d, 1910, at 1900
o'clock, noon, Herman Davis, aged
II years, 10 months and % days.
The remains of my old friend
were, on Sunday, Oath, at 2:30 P.
NJ, taken to st. Paul's church, and
thence to the Masonic Cemetery,
where they were inferred, with the
rites prescribed by the I. 0. o. F.
ritual. Mr.. Davis had for more
than forty-seven years been a
member of Iron Lodge, No. 107,
whose members sorrowfully rem
dered the last Office fate demands
for all. The flower tributes were
the finest | have ever seen, and
the concourse attending the funer-
al was very great.
The subject of this memorial was
born at Wenersborg, Sweden, on
May Goth, 1888, and in his eight
zenith year emigrated to the United
States, locating first in New York
city. In 1860 he came to Missouri,
and after that time was a continu-
Gus resident of this town-ffty
years. June q, 1864, he was unit
ed in marriage to Miss Hattie
Olivia Schofield, of Port Jervis, N.
Y. He returned with his bride to
this town, and they here establish
ed their home. To this marriage
were born six children - five
daughters and one son. OF these,
five survive to mourn with their
mother the loss of the husband
and father, one daughter, Carrie,
having been called to rest about
seventeen years ago. The living
are: Mrs. A. F. Kuehle, of Muir
physboro, Ills. Mrs. A. M. Madi-
gan, of Arcadia; Miss Mabel, of
St. Louis; Miss Ollie, residing
here; and George, married, now Of
De Soto, but soon to become a res"
ident of Poplar Bluff. He holds
the position of train dispatcher on
the st. L., l.. M. & S. Ry.
| can write no fitting tribute to
the memory OF the deceased. Our
acquaintance extended through
nearly fifty years, and not a day
of all that time saw a rupture or a
loosening of the tie Of close friend
ship existing between us. Each
succeeding day it seemed to bind
still more closely, and we became
as brothers. I grew to know him
his true heart, his finer sensibil-
tiles, and his unselfish mind-as
no other man knew him. He was
one of natures noblemen. His de-
parture is to me a loss second only
to that of those united to him by
blood as we'll as affection. To
them my heart reaches out in sym
pathy. May they find solace in
the belief and thought thata future
reunion with their loved one awaits
them; that eternity holds for them
a glorious and ever-enduring rec
ompense for the grief that now
bows their souls to the dust; that
He is not dead, but sleeping
The silent night away,
His soul in Gods own keeping
For Resurrection Day! VIII"
