- THE LATE DR. C.H. DAVIS -
Dr. Cornelius H. Davis, of Williamsburg, son of the late A. W. Davis and Mrs. Julia F. Davis, of Caroline, passed away on Aug. 39, 1920. at Johnston-Willis Sanitarium, after an illness of two months with anaemia, which he bore with Christian patience and bravery. Dr. Davis graduated in dentistry from the University College of Medicine, in Richmond, June, 1898. In 1909 he settled in Williamsburg, where he rapidly gained prominence in his chosen profession and won numerous friends. It has been said "To know him
was to love him." He united with County Line Baptist church at the age of 12, moved his membendup to the Williamsburg church on settling there. Here he was active in the church work, being secretary and treasurer for several years and then deacon. He was also a Mason and an Odd Fellow. His noble life, calm resignation to God's will and his glorious death are evidences that he walked with God. A devoted, intelligent husband and father, a kind and loving son and brother, a sincere friend has gone to his reward. He leaves a heart-broken wife and daughter. Nancy, aged 8, mother, three sisters, Mrs. J.W. Smith, Mrs. W.O. Chewning, and Mrs. C.R. Coleman, all of Spotsylvania, and four brothers, Rev. C.C. Davis, of Atlee; F.F. Davis, of Caroline; G.W. Davis, of Morgantown, W.Va., and S.I. Davis of Staunton, to mourn their loss, besides hosts of sorrowing relatives and friends. His body was laid to rest in the famlly section at County Line church on Aug. 31 amidst a crowd of sorrowing
friends and loved ones. From trembling lips was heard the expression, "I have lost a friend." His bright smile, cheerful words and lovely character live on in the memory of his friends, whose floral offering formed a bed of beauty over the silent mound. It is hard to understand why one so young, so loved and so useful should be taken, but our Heavenly Father, who is too wise to err, knows best. "Not now, but in the coming years, It may be in that better land, We'll read the meaning of our tears, And then, ah then, we'll understand. A Friend. (Fredericksburg) The Free Lance - Sept, 28, 1920.
