Mrs. W. H. Davis - Alice Gray Garton was born near Lamonte, in Pettis county, Mo., Sept. 16, 1854. She was the youngest daughter of Edwin S. and Angeline (Hill) Garton, natives of Virginia, who were pioneers in Pettis county, locating in that county in 1839, and entering a tract of government land on which they created a homestead. Mr. Garton died in 1893 at the age of 74 years. Mrs. Garton died in 1861 aged 51 years. On Jan. 8 1878, Mrs. Alice Garton was married in Pettis county to William H. Davis. To this union three sons were born, Walter G. Davis attorney at law at Windsor, Mo., J. Piper Davis, consulting Engineer, St. Louis, Mo., and W. Dalton Davis, farmer near Windsor. After their marriage Mr. Davis was engaged in the work of journalism, editing a newspaper at Warrensburg, Marshall and Clinton; some 43 years ago Mr. and Mrs. Davis moved to a farm near Windsor, Mo., where they resided and reared their family until Mr. Davis' death, which occurred Dec. 28, 1912. After her husband's death Mrs. Davis continued to reside upon the farm for a number of years with her youngest son, W. Dalton, moving to Windsor several years ago, where she continued to reside until her death, which occurred Nov. 29, 1927, at 7:30 a.m., at the age of 73 years, 2 months and 13 days. Mrs. Davis united with the M. E. Church, South, in her early life and was an earnest, devoted and faithful member of this church and its organized societies all her life. The farm where she spent the greater portion of her life and commonly known as the Davis farm still remains the property of the Davis family. Mrs. Davis numbered her friends by her acquaintances and her home was ever the meeting place of her good friends whom she loved and respected as they so loved and respected her. It was the joy of her life to be with her friends, at her church or with her family. She spent her life in trying to bring good cheer and happiness to others. She was a devoted mother to her three boys and their comfort and welfare was one of the paramount issues of her life. Faithful to her family, church and friends, a friend to all and loving all, her passing will leave a breach in the life of her friends that only time can heal. Her sons will ever remember her as their mother and true friend, whose watchful care and mother's love, with never a word of censure or rebuke, attended them all the days of her life. Time cannot heal that aching void her passing leaves in the lives of her three boys and her memory they will cherish and revere all the days of their lives. Funeral services where held at the Methodist church yesterday afternoon and interment was made in Laurel Oak Cemetery.
