Dr. W. L. Davis
Beloved Physician
Had Practiced in Medicine in This Community More Than Forty Years.
Dr. William L Davis, beloved Albany physician died Monday night at 7:30 o'clock at his home, 611 North Jefferson Street,, after a short Illness. Funeral services will be held this afternoon at 3 o'clock at the First Baptist Church.
Doctor Davis had been in failing health about three years, but his death came as a great shock to the community. His thousands of friends throughout the state are offering their deepest sympathy to his family in their bereavement.
For forty-three years; since he was 21 years old, Doctor Davis had practiced medicine in this community. In fact, his service as a minister to the sick antedates that of any living, man of medicine, now resident in Albany. His father before him was a beloved physician of early days, and both sons of the elder Doctor Davis followed in his, steps. Dr. W. L. Davis began practicing, medicine in Albany immediately after completing his medical studies and receiving, his degree. In the city and surrounding country he was the beloved physician of many households, and he was held in tender affection by those he served. News of his death has caused widespread sorrow.
Besides his wife, Mrs. Annie Davis, Doctor Davis, is survived by one son, William L. Davis, Jr.; two daughters, Mrs. J. B. Lanier and Mrs. S. H. Marshall; a sister, Miss Edwina Davis, all of Albany; and one brother, Dr. E. C. Davis, of Atlanta.
The Rev. E. M. Palmer, pastor of Byne Memorial Baptist Church, assisted by the Rev. L. G. Henderson, D. D., pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, will conduct the services. Interment will follow in Oakview Cemetery.
The following pall bearers are asked to meet at the Ivey Funeral Home at 2:15 o'clock:: Dr. J. G. Cutliff, O. G. Hall, Herman Fryer, C. D. Smith, Julius Peritz and F. F. Middleton. The deacons of the First Baptist Church will be honorary pall bearers.
Doctor Davis was for many years as active and outstanding member of the First Baptist Church. He was also a member of many fraternal orders, among them being Albany Lodge, No. 24; F. and A. M.; Albany Chapter, No. 15, R. A. M.; St. Paul Commandery, No. 24, Knights Templars; and Alee Temple, A. A. 0. N. M. S.

A DOCTOR 43 YEARS.
To have practiced medicine in one community for forty-three years is to have rendered a golden service. Dr. W. L. Davis, whose death Monday evening greatly saddened Albanians, began the practice of his profession here immediately after completing; his medical studies, and in and out of season-in the years that followed he rendered that priceless service which only a general practitioner is capable of performing. In Albany and throughout the surrounding country he served the sick — driving in his buggy through winter's rain and summer sun before the advent of the automobile, and responding more quickly to the calls of patients when more modem means of transportation became available. How many homes he served we do not know; we only know that for nearly a half century he was at the beck and call of those who needed him in time of emergency — when babies came into the world, when children ailed, when their parents were forced to bed, and when the aged battled with the multiplying ailments of accumulated years. Forty-three years as a general practitioner — what a service to have rendered, what a legacy to have left!
