"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 34, No 11, p 3, Mar. 14, 1878.
At the house of Rev. Jacob Davis, Greenbrier, W. V., Feb. 26th, 1878, after about three days severe suffering, David R. Platts, in, we believe, the 73d year of his age. The subject of this notice was the father of Rev. L. A. Platts, of Westerly, R. I.
He has been quite extensively known in different places, prominent among which are Berlin and Milton, Wis., Welton, Iowa, Farina, Ill., and West Virginia. He was known generally, we believe, as an active Christian man, possessing admirable abilities for thought and utterance. Conscious of misgivings in his life, he acknowledged and wept over them. As he neared 'the valley of the shadow of death,' he gave bright evidence that he 'feared no evil,' that the Lord was with him, and that the rod and staff that comforted David, the psalmist, was his comfort. The burial services were conducted by L. F. Randolph, assisted by Elders James B. and S. D. Davis. Eld. Jacob Davis was present also, but as the deceased had been regarded, considerably, during the winter, as a member of his family, he wished to be and was excused from taking part in the burial services. Hoping that some one will write, for publication, a more detailed obituary of the deceased, this may suffice here.
