The Anthony Weekly Bulletin Harper County Friday December 31, 1897 Mrs. Davis Dead. Mrs. H.O. DAVIS, died at the family residence early Wednesday morning. It has been well known for some time by the friends and relatives that the end was near, and it was the expected that happened. Consumption had claimed her for a victim and the decline for the past six months has been a rapid one in spite of the careful and unceasing efforts of physicians and relatives. Mrs. DAVIS was well known in Anthony, being the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert HEAN.(?) She was a graduate from the Anthony High School and as a school girl, wife and mother had a host of friends. She married Harvey O. DAVIS three years ago Christmas day, and her wish that she might celebrate this anniversary was granted her and she was able to enjoy the company of relatives on that day. Her husband, a little daughter nearly two years old, and father, mother, brothers and sister know best the loss that has been sustained in her death. She was an ideal daughter, sister, wife, and mother and a true frien! d to the sick and afflicted, and her loss to those to whom she was dearest is an irreparable one. The funeral services were held at the family residence at 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon and were conducted by Rev. J. R. EDWARDS of the Baptist church. A large number of friends assembled despite the stormy weather. The interment was in Forest Park cemetery. The Bulletin joins the many friends in expressing our sincere sympathy for the bereaved ones.
