The following article was in the Waco newspaper in January 1892. Does anyone know anything about the Blake Manufacturing Co where the daughter worked. This R Q Davidson was my great uncle Robert Quincy Davidson. I have a lot of information on all his siblings but very little on R Q. I am interested in finding what happened to his children. Actually, there was an older daughter who was probably married by 1892. A DESERVING CASE Of Charity In Our Midst Which Calls for Liberal Response Officer Clay was informed yesterday morning, that a man by the name of R Q Davidson had died, leaving his family, composed of a wife and three children, in destitute circumstances, and that assistance was necessary. Mr. Clay actuated by the kind-heartedness for which he is noted, at once visited the home of sorrow and distress, and found that the report to him was by no means exaggerated, and immediately set about to relieve the distress of the grief-stricken widow and fatherless children. He procured a coffin from the county and paid the expense of the shipment of the body to Mart for interment, and then set about to procure the immediate necessaries of life for the cheerless and destitute household. One gentleman whose name was not given, procured a stove and conveyed it to the residence upon a wheel-barrow,and others contributed small amounts of cash with which provisions were purchased by Mr. Clay and sent to the humble residence. The deceased has been an invalid for a long time past and the support of the family has devoted upon the wife and eldest daughter - the latter working hard and faithfully at the Blake Manufacturing company for a mere pittance - which together with what the mother has been able to earn by sewing, washing and ironing during the spare moments not devoted to the, almost, constant attention at the bedside of the dying husband and father has sufficed, though meagerly, to keep the wolf from the door. This is a worthy subject of charity and it is hoped those who feel so inclined will turn over to Officer Clay, at the city hall, whatever they may feel inclined to give and it will be properly applied.
