J. e. PATTERSON SUCCEEDS
j. +. STANTON AS PRESIDENT

At a meeting of the board of di-
rectors of the First National bank
of this place, held Friday night, Mr..
j. E. Patterson was named president
OF the bank to fill the vacancy caus-
ed by the. death of Mr.. j. r. Stanton.
Just as soon as Mr.. Patterson can
ton with his work as state account.
ant, he will be actively associated
with the bank, and will give it his
regular time. He had given up his
position as accountant, before being
named to the bank presidency.
Mr.. Patterson needs no intrOduc-
ton to the public. He was born in
Windsor township, and is a son of
the late S. P. Patterson, Civil war
soldier, and wife. When a young
man he began to teach school, which
he followed for some years, and
while teacher he was named coun-
ty school examiner. Later he served
this county for two terms as aud
itor, and soon after retiring from
that office, was for time deputy in
the tax commission office here,
which was created under the
Warne's tax law during the admins
tration of Governor Cox, when Vic
Donahey was state auditor and
James M. Cox: governor. He resign
ed this position in the year 1914 to
accept position as assistant state
accountant, which position he filed
for three years, and then was pro-
noted to state examiner of public
offices, position which he has since
held-in all covering period Of
about twenty-five and a half years.
He is now completing an audit of
the Noble county books. In all
these activities his services have
been of the very best. AS state
accountant none stood higher. Some
years ago he was made a director in
the First National bank, and several
years ago he was chosen one of it's
vice presidents, position he was
holding when promoted to the presi-
dency. He is thoroughly familiar
with the banking business. This
bank feels itself very fortunate in
being able to place at it's head
man of the ability and general high
standing of Mr.. Patterson. He is
man in whom the public places the
utmost confidence.

Life OF John A. Davis Ends
A Marietta Citizen, With a Life and
Business Career that Began lii
Morgan County, Passes Away
At 85.

| John A. Davis, president of the
Bailey Grocery Company, of Mariet-
/ ia, died at his home in that city,
Nov. 25. Funeral services were held
] privately at the home, 322 Fourth
street, Friday His wife, Mrs. EN-
ma Harper Davis, preceded him in
death May IL, 1886, seven and one
! half months ago, and at which time
Mr.. DaYis was reported as being in
very frail health. John A. Davis
was born in Morgan county, Ohio,
on Oct. 12, 1851, and spent his early
life in Reinersville vicinity. He wed
Emma, the youngest daughter of
James and Jane Harper, March IL,
1874, and began his marital life
; here where they resided in the house
now occupied by Mrs. Emma Tan
nehill, and which he, then a car
penter, built. Leaving here. he was
associated briefly with his brother
in-law, w. w. Harper, now Of the
wholesale grocery, bearing the lat
ter's name at GAINESVILLE. Later, he
conducted a general store at Hack
ney, and was in business there in
1885, as this was the year the writ.
er with parents first came to Ohio
from Missouri, and for time were
guests of the Davis home. The fam
lily then consisted of Mr.. and Mrs,
Davis and four daughters, Lesta,
Nellie, Etna and Pearl. With this
family and after disposal of store,
John A. Davis moved to Marietta in
1890, where he became partner in
the wholesale grocery firm of Harp
er, Davis & Bailey. Later, when the
firm name was changed to- C. L.
Bailey Grocery Company, he con-
tinued his interests in the firm. Fol
lowing the death of G. l., Bailey in
1918, John A. Davis was made pres
ident of the firm and continued in
this position until his death Sur
viving the deceased are two daugh-
ters, Of Marietta, Mrs Reuben (Les-
lie) Thornley,. The daughter,
Pearl, died many years ago, and
death came to the other daughter,
Mrs. Etna Davis Scott, at Fair
mont, w. Va, probably seven years
ago. The Marietta Times in an edi-
torial tribute of the 9th says in
part of the deceased ''The death of
John A. Davis for whom funeral SER
vices were held this afternoon re-
moved one of the founders and the
president Of business organization
that has been one of the most sub
stantial and favorably known con-
Germs in this part of Ohio for many
years. Mr.. Davis was man of
character and ability, who had the
respect and esteem of all who knew
him and of the community as a
whole. His death following closely
on that of Mrs. Davis, who passed
away in May, completes the cul-
of fine couple, man and
a woman who will be missed sorely
by their friends, and who were as
sets to their home city. Their deaths
add greatly to the loss that this city
has suffered in the immediate past
by the passing Of its more elderly
residents"

CELEBRATE TWENTY-F1FTH
WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

Sunday, Nov. 20, was very hap
py day for Mr.. and Mrs. George B.
Kenney, who on that day celebrated
the silver jubilee of their wedding.
A High Mass of Thanksgiving was
sung by their pastor, Father Pres
ton, in gratitude to Almighty God
for the many graces and blessings
bestowed upon the happy couple
throughout the rs years of their
married life. The jubilarians re-
ceived Holy Communion.
The pastor felicitated them, and
in behalf of the congregation extend
ed the best wishes Of the entire
parish, and in a few remarks spoke
of the. exemplary character of Mr..
and Mrs. Kenney as Catholic par
ents, of the esteem in which they
are held, by the public as the highest
type of citizens, and of the fine eX-
ample they have always given to
others by their fidelity to their holy
religion. The pastor also pointed
out the urgent need in the world to-
day of good, sensible, Christian par
ents, and most especially the need
of good mothers, who realize their
uuIy W iudhC LuCll uOuc pldCC VI
happiness and contentment; that
parents should teach their children
to love and appreciate their home,
and to seek their joy in the home
and family circle. He said that the
decline in morals and the increase of
crime was due not to lack of edu-
cation, but to the breakdown of
family life, through divorce, etc
If we have broken homes, we must
have broken nation, for the fam
lily makes the nation. Pastor said
he wished to thank Mr.. and Mrs.
Kenney both for the many kindness
es and financial help toward him
self, and the church, during these
25 years of their married life.

quet was held at the family home
stead, where the relatives and
friends had gathered for the occas-
ion. The happy jubilarians were the

useful gifts. Mr.. and Mrs. Kenney
