Y., Sept. 1, 1906. She was married to William Davis December, 1838, with whom she lived happily for over fifty years. To this union six sons were born, one died in infancy, one in early manhood, and four still survive her - Robert, Mortimer, Henry, and David our much beloved Missionary at Shanghai, China. In early life she gave her heart to Christ and united with the First Verona Seventh-day Baptist Church, of which she continued to be an earnest and faithful member. She dearly loved the church and the church people, and none were more faithful to the church appointments than was she so long as her health permitted. During the last few months of her life, her mind was gradually failing, as was her strength, but her spiritual vision never dimmed. Throughout life's varied changes, she bore its trials, crosses, sorrows, afflictions with Christian fortitude, and gradually ripened in the sunshine of God's love, just as the shock of corn in its season. The funeral services were conducted in the Methodist Episcopal Church at New London, N. Y., by Pastor Davis, who spoke from Job 5: 26. A. L. D.

Davis was an industrious man, and faithful husband and father. He remembered well the founding of the city of Rome, N. Y., and the beginning of work on the Erie Canal. He was converted at the age of ten years and united with the First Verona Seventh-day Baptist church, which fellowship he held at the time of his death. Though quiet in nature, he did much for the cause of God here. He leaves, to mourn his loss, his devoted wife and four sons, one of whom is D. H., of Shanghai, China.
