Davis. In Alton, N. Y., April 29, 1930, Rev. Homer W. Davis, aged 75 years.
The immediate cause of his death was chronic bronchitis, induced by a severe and prolonged attack of pneumonia.
Brother Davis was born at Ways Mills, Que., November 28, 1854, and was united in marriage to Inez C. Sage at Newport, Vt., July 16, 1879. After a residence of five years in Lowell, Mass., Brother and Sister Davis returned to their old home at Ways Mills. Here amidst the environment of his childhood and schooldays, and under the shadow of his parental home, he heard and answered the call of God, and entered the ministry of the Advent Christian denomination. For forty-six years Brother and Sister Davis labored together for the salvation of souls and the establishment of Advent Christian churches.
Twelve of the forty-six years he served this body, were spent in tent mission work in two Provinces of Canada and the State of New York. As a result of Brother Davis' labors, ten churches were organized and erected under his direct supervision--three in the Province of Quebec, four in the Province of Ontario and three in the State of New York. He moved to Alton, N. Y., in 1911 and there erected his last church, bought a fruit farm, and settled down to spend the last years of his life in a house builded by his own hands.
Brother Davis was the first pastor of most all of the churches he was instrumental in raising up; and beside these he served the Massena church as pastor for several years. Brother Davis was an able and loyal defender of the truths which distinguish us as a people. His expositions of the doctrines of this body, were always clear and convincing.
The writer of this notice heard his first sermon on the second coming of Christ from the lips of Brother Davis, and largely through his influence, and that of his good wife, he entered the ministry of this body.
Sister Davis and Thelma (now Mrs. Johns[t]on Collins), were always ready to share in the toils and sacrifices incident to the success of a man who was never afraid to undertake great things for God. During the last years of his ministry he wrote several tracts of various phases of our faith, some of which are on sale at the Advent Christian Publication Society headquarters, 160 Warren St., Boston, Mass.
On July 16, 1929, Brother and Sister Davis celebrated their Golden Wedding anniversary, surrounded by many relatives and friends from far and near.
Brother Davis leaves to mourn, his beloved wife, one daughter, one son, two brothers, two sisters and a number of grandchildren. Funeral services were held in the Alton church, May 2, and the place was filled with sorrowing relatives and friends. The casket was covered with beautiful floral pieces from chuches, relatives and friends.
