Philip Davis, a highly respected citizen of Pike County for many years, died Thursday evening about 5 o'clock at the home of his son, Charley Davis on Sugar Ridge. He had been in poor health for some time. Deceased was born in Missouri but his parents moved to Lockhart township, this county when he was about a year old. Here he grew to manhood, married and raised a family, living in the same neighborhood until the death of his companion about twelve years ago. At the time of his death he was 74 years old, having celebrated his 74th birthday January 2nd last.

Surviving is four sons and three daughters as follows: Jack, William, Frank and Charley Davis, Mrs. Dock Carlisle, Mrs. William Robinson and Mrs. Henry Reisenbeck. The last two named daughters and one son, Frank, reside in Oklahoma. Mr. Davis was a good citizen and stood well with the people in the community where he lived so long. He was a veteran of the civil war and drew a pension. He was a lifelong member of the United Brethren church. The funeral service was held Saturday forenoon at Cup Creek, conducted by Rev. Ed. Barrett. The remains were laid to rest in the Cup Creek cemetery.
