Edwin Cady Davis died suddenly in his home Friday afternoon The cause of his death is not known, but it is believed that he died of heart failure. Mir. Davis's family went to Springfield in the morning. When they left he seemed all right, but on their return they found him sitting in a chair dead. Mir. Davis was born in West Stafford, March 26, 1S44. He received a common school education and had nearly completed the classical course at Wesleyan academy, Wilbra- ham, when, owing to his eyes failing him, he was obliged to leave school. He served in the civil war as a mem- Der of Go. K, 22d regiment, Con- necticut volunteers, enlisting from Somers. After the war he went to Georgia, where he spent several years in merchandising and as a tele- grapher. He had always been 8 republican, and was the only white man in Mcintosh county that voted for Gen. Grant at the presidential election in 1868. Coming north for his health in 1870, he was lon the road' for several Baltimore concerns until 1876, when he returned to Georgia, having received an appoint ment as inspector of customs for the district of Brunswick, Port of Dorien, being afterward promoted to deputy collector of customs. He was also vice consul for Brazil and Portugal and acted as a consular agent for the Spanish-speaking countries of Central and South America. Mir. Davis returned to Stafford in 1886, and was in the legislature from that town during the following year. He settled in Somers in 1894, since which time he had taken an active interest in town affairs, representing the town in the legislature of 1911, serving two terms on the board of seleotmen and for a number of years was one of the auditors of the town For some time Mir. Davis had not been actively engaged in business, devoting his energies mainly to looking after the interests of his nephews, also in taking care of extensive investments. MT. Davis was a man of the highest probity and business and social standing, possessing qualifications that would insure thorough and weighty consideration of all matters concerning the welfare of the town of Somers and the state of Connecticut. Mr. Davis was a member of the West Stafford Congregational church and also an active member of Samuel Brown Grand Army post of Thompson. ville. He leaves a brother, Franklin 70.
