....The Death Angel visited in our midst on the 2d day of this month and claimed for its
victim Aunt Jane Davis after a lingering illness of six weeks, at the advanced age of 81
years. She joined the Methodist Episcopal Church at about 12 years of age, and since that
time she has lived a consistant member of that church.
She leaves seven children, four sons and three daughters. Mr. T.
C. DAVIS of this community, Mr. John DAVIS of Tennessee, Mr. J. H. DAVIS of Loretta, Tenn.,
Mr. Wesley DAVIS of Center Star, Ala., Mrs. Fannie ALLEN of Arkdell, Ala., Misses Mary and
Sallie DAVIS of this place.
She also leaves one brother and three sisters. Mrs. Rebecca
DAVIS, Mrs. Katherine BELEW, Mrs. Cyntha McGUIRE, and Mr. John PORTER, all of whom are
living near Lexington except Mrs. Rebecca DAVIS of Florence. Aunt Jane was a quiet
follower of the Lord. Her mind was centered on things heavenly and divine. It was sweet to
converse with her. It would attract any one's mind heavenward and make them think of how
they should live to reach that home of rest. To the bereaved we extend our heartfelt
sympathy...
