Our old friend, James L. Davis, died at his residence three miles northeast of Dodson at an early hour last Saturday morning. He was born in Troupe County, Ga., May 3, 1837, and had he lived till the 3 of next May, would have been 70 years old.
His parents left Georgia in 1844 and settled in Bossier Parish, this state, the subject of this sketch being, at this time about seven years old. Mr. Davis moved to Winn Parish in 1856 and settled near this place and was married in December 1858 in the same house in which he died, to Miss Amanda Stone, sister of our friends, B. W. and D. M. Stone.
Mr. Davis served in the war between the states, choosing to cast his lot on the side of the Confederacy. He enlisted with the 28th Louisiana Regiment.
Mr. Davis was a good citizen, honest, hard working and full of activity and energy as long as he was able to do anything at all. His remains were laid to rest in the cemetery at New Hope church Sunday with Masonic honors, the deceased having been a member of that ancient order.
He leaves a wife and six children and numerous relatives and friends to mourn his death, which was due to flux, old age, etc. The Dodson Times extends timely sympathy to the bereft.
