A Good Man at Rest.



"Wm. A. Davis, one of Monroe county's best known, most highly respected
and honored citizens, died after an illness of several weeks duration,
at this home, about four miles northwest of town, on Monday evening,
June 4th, 1900. Mr. Davis was a man of indomitable energy, genial
disposition, and indulgent father and kind neighbor, and through his
long and eventful life has won and retained the friendship of all wih
whom he came in contact, and leaves behind him, not only a large family
of children, all of whom are grown and useful citizens, but leaves a
host of warm personal friends, to mourn his death. He was something
over seventy years of age at the time of his death. His funeral was
preached by C.H. Strawn, of Paris, and his remains laid to rest at Ash
yesterday."
