Nellie C. Davis, daughter of Jeremiah and Anna Marsh, was born in Exeter, N. H., October 12, 1859, and died at her home in Shiloh, N. J., March 3, 1919.

Since the age of nineteen she has lived in New Jersey, the most of the time in the neighborhood of Shiloh.

She was married to William W. Davis, December 25, 1877, at Fairton, N. J. To them were born eight children, seven of whom are living and who were present at the farewell services, Carl M., Herbert D., Grace Davis Acton, Jerome F., Harold M., Mrs. Ethel Schaible and Hazel. Besides the husband and children, she is survived by one sister, Mrs. Grace A. Mayhugh, of Manassas, Va., one half-sister, Mrs. H. Wells Davis, of Shiloh, and a half-brother, Joseph W. Marsh, of Bridgeton.

For many years she has been a member of the Shiloh Seventh Day Baptist Church. For a long time she had been in poor health and for twenty-two weeks has been confined to her bed, yet she was always patient and kind. She was prepared to go and often expressed a desire to depart and be with her master, but was willing to await with patience the end.

Funeral services were conducted at the home by her pastor, Erlo E. Sutton, who used as a text John 14: 2.
