Wm. P. Davis passed away suddenly on Sunday, July [sic, Jan] 19th, from paralysis of the brain. His going was a surprise to many friends, for up to the day before he had been in apparent good health. At his request the hearse used at the funeral was the one he had driven so many times, and the black team he had used were driven by Norman Cline. For many years he has been a teamster in Clarinda, whose presence will be greatly missed.
Born Sept 12th, 1850, in Marshall County, Illinois, he moved with his parents when 17 years of age to Lacelle, Ill., residing there for 11 years, then in 1878 came to Page County, where he has since resided. In 1869 he was married to Mary Elizabeth Powell. Of the five children, two daughters are living, Mrs Newell Goff and Mrs Leslie Beard of Clarinda, his wife also being still with us. His outstanding characteristic was faithfullness, to family, church and community. The funeral was held at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, from the home in Clarinda.
