April 22, 1898 > Mr. Davis Gammage passed quietly to rest beyond the river, Sunday at 4 o'clock p.m. at his daughter's, Mrs. Tom Brown's. After a lingering illness of many months, that dreadful disease consumption claimed him for its own. > He was one of the landmarks of this community, having moved here from Twiggs County in early life. He raised nine children to be grown, five of whom survive him. He was buried in the cemetery here [Marshallville] Monday evening, follow by a large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends. > To the bereaved ones I tender my sincere sympathies and would point them to the "Rock that is Higher than I," knowing that "Earth has no sorrows that heaven cannot heal." > [Note: Davis Gammage - Born August 18, 1820 - Died April 17, 1898 is buried in Marshallville Cemetery beside his wife, M.A.E., wife of Davis Gammage - Born December 20, 1824 - Died April 26, 1885]. > > > This is an automatically-generated notice. > > <http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ga/MaconObits?admin> > >
