Hi, I'm going to post some Davis info from my files so that others hopefully can use it. If I have other info on these copies, I'll put it past the Davis info on the same page. Karen Jackson Standard Journal Wednesday, Feb. 21, 1900 Mrs. Margaret Davis, of near Rio Grande, the wife of Mr. T.J.W. Davis, whose illness has been mentioned in the Journal passed peacefully to rest Sunday morning February 11, after almost a year's suffering with consumption. She bore her suffering bravely and met death with the hope of a Christian's future. She, early in life, united with the Congregational church at Ty'n Rhos and lived a faithful Christian life until the One whom she served, saw fit to call her from this world of sorrow to reap the rewards of an earnest effort through all eternity. Mrs. Davis was born in the old homestead near Rio Grande, where her only brother Mr. James E. Davis, now lives. After marrying, she moved about two miles west of Rio Grande. She leaves a husband, a little son five years old and one brother, Mr. James E. Davis, to mourn the loss of a devoted wife, a loving mother and an affectionate sister. - (Gallipolis Journal) There are 915 inmates in the Athens State Hospital.
