Mrs. Sarah Sharp Davis, widow of the late Mr. Henry W. Davis, a Confederate veteran, died suddenly at 9:30 Monday night, March 5th, at the residence of her niece Mrs. O.H. Stevenson, in this city, where the deceased had made her home the past three months, since becoming an invalid by reason of paralysis. Funeral services were conducted at the home at four o'clock Tuesday afternoon and interment was in the family lot in the local cemetery. In the absence of the pastor of the departed, the services were in charge of Rev. W. E. Lockler, Baptist minister.
Mrs. Davis was the last surviving member of the family into which she was born and was likewise the last member of her own family to depart this life. Her husband died nearly three years ago. Mr. and Mrs. Davis had outlived their four children, two of them dying in childhood and two in adult life. There were no grandchildren, hence the wife and mother had no closer famiy in her last days than her nephews and nieces.
Mrs. Davis was 77 years of age last November. She had been a devoted member of the Methodist church since early life. In her more active days she taught a class of boys in the Methodist Sunday school in Roanoke and fromt heir ranks have come at least two ministers of the Gospel. She had finished her tasks and was ready to go.
