Obituary
W. B. Davison of 843 Eleventh Avenue, died at 9:45, Saturday night after an illness of only three days from Typhoid pneumonia and kidney troubles. The last few hous of life his diseases brought on congestion of the brain which directly caused his death.
For some time Mr. Davison had been troubled with a severe cold, but he would not give up and went on with his work when he was hardly able to be around.
Deceased was born June 28, 1844 near Toronto, Canada. When he was two years old his parents moved to New York. There he grew to manhood and obtained a good education. He lived in Decatur and Peoria, Illinois, moving to Burlington, Iowa and then here, where he had resided the past three years.
A year ago last August he organized the insurance order known as the Knights and ladies of the Golden Precept. He was the originator of its ritual, odes and ceremonies, and at the time of his death was one of it's hardest workers, being the Supreme Manager. His heart was in the work and his joy was to see the order of which he was the founder prosper, as it has in the last six months.
He leaves a wife and five children--Will, residing in Peoria, Linton, Mrs. Ada J. Haring, Lena and Uva all of this city.
Mr. and Mrs Haring were in Chicago on thier wedding trip, and were telegraphed for arriving early Sunday morning. The son Will was summoned and will be here to attend the funeral services, which will occur from the house at 10 Tuesday morning, under the auspices of Clinton Lodge No. 1 KALGP and the supreme officers.
