May 8, 1913 - Carroll Times - Sunday, May 4th, at 5 a.m. at St. Anthony's Hospital occurred the death of Andrew N. Davis, for several years a prominent business man of Carroll. The immediate cause of death was cerebral hemmorrhage, although for the last two years Mr. Davis has been a sufferer from kidney trouble which doubtless contributed to the conditions that resulted in death.
Andrew Newcomer Davis was born at Mount Morriss, Illinois, August 20, 1861, the son of Joseph and Mary Davis. His earlier life was spent in his native town and in 1882 he went to Kansas, where the greater part of his adult years were passed. In early life he learned the blacksmithing business but did not long pursue that line of work, his occupation during the greater part of his life having been in mercantile lines.
He was married May 28, 1884, to Miss Etta Easley, of Raymon, Illinois. To this union were born two children, Ned E. and Helen, both of whom are living in Carroll. The family came to Carroll in 1904, and Mrs. Davis died in this city in 1906. Mr. Davis was married again, August 26, 1908, to Mrs. Addie Shollenberger of this city, who survives him.
Other living relatives are seven brothers and one sister, whose homes are in Kansas, Oklahoma and California. Two of the brothers, H.S. Davis, of Amorita, Okla., and L.E. Davis, of Hazelton, Ks., were in attendance at their brother's funeral on Tuesday, the 6th.
The deceased was a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, the Rebecca lodge and the Tribe of Ben Hur. He was a man of genial disposition, whose pleasant, courteous ways endeared him to a host of friends. He was a member of the firm of J.A. Strohm & Co., from its organization a little more than seven years ago until February of the present year, when he disposed of his interest to Mr. Strohm.
His health has been such since that time that he had not entered into other business engagements. His death will be deeply regretted by the entire community and will be felt as a personal loss by many outside his own family circle as well as by its members. The funeral took place at the home on Main street, Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, conducted by Rev. H.P. Dudley, pastor of the M.E. church and interment was made in Carroll Cemetery.
