"UNCLE" IHRELL DAVIS The morning of Feb. 6, 1924. at ten minutes to four an angel came and] took from the home of Mrs. Durell Da vis, Col., a husband and a father and | claimed his owut Deacon Davis. Deacon Davis was born June 26, 1848. age 75 years. 7 months, 9 days old. A faith ful member of the First Baptist church ? he became a member of God's family at the age of 30 years and was faithful for 40 year. During this time he was ordained for Deacon. His advice to the rest of the Deacons was good and wholesome. At that time he was made treasurer of the said church. He leaves a wife, four daughters and three sons, twenty grandchildren apej 5 great-grandchildren to mourn theiT loss. There is something strange about his living, something that don't happen often, that is to see the third generation to play around his knees. His death was not a shock to the fam ily. because he said to the family not to grieve after him; for one morning between 3 and 4 o'clock he was going to die and so he did. The premature death of this greatly beloved man will be regretted by all who knew him. The abil^r and mod eration with which he ac? in the va rlou3 dennrtmrnta nf renrirrftd '' him dear to his friends and church as I his death is grievous and distressing Deacon Davis was ambassador for Christ, rea^y to te^ch God's word at all times. Did his usefulness end here like Moses, we behold him des. cending from the great service In Heavenly things to the sphere of the civil duties of the magistrate, admin istering the law for his country. Dea con Davis distributing justice and set ting an example of virtue, patriotism, as husband and he was indulgent, provident and affectionate, as a neigh bor he was charitable sympathizing with the distressed, helping the poor and needy, lending a fostering hand to the widow and orphan. Dear read er the writer of this has been know, ing him for years, being a member of the family for 20 years and his advice was always good nod wholesome. As a father he \\Tould take children around the fireside every Sunday morn ing and have a family prayer. Dea con Davis has been unable to work for two or three years. He began to get weaker and weaker till ne was help less. He bore his sickness with pa tience, not a murmuring word would | he say. But he would utter prayers | Oh, God. when thy enter thy thrown | remember me. Our church has lost a true Deacon, one that will be missed. He was a Deacon that would measure up to the requirements. Slow to an ger could govern well his ho^aeijpld and apt to teach and quick to' iner^V In , every sense of the word he was ft God called Deacon. Many souls are saved through his teachings on the streets^ I will not plough the depth of manhood in details to make known to the reader the life of Deacon Davis noble and most worthy divine who drape the mantle and passed to his re ward somewhere in the presence of Ood. It was true that Deacon Davis has his periods of yontk and old ago; Its rises. its progress, its decline; and yet like the oak. with withered bran, ches has withstood its storm and gales of scores of years; but alas death has swept through the forest of humanity and a stately tree has fall en, who was once an armament, a beauty and a blessing. But now Dea con Davis is dead and deformed thing a atrcken family bewails its loved on?. SUBE 1 *?>LL **JILL VA V gone, a sovereign church mourns an illustrious Deacon, a great man. Dea con Davis lived a clean life, his life vras of such that the church saw fit to elect him for their treasurer, that is to hold their money, as the bible says ! that money is the root of all evil, but I Deacon Davis was trusted. And at| last the Lord saw fit to remove him j from our presence. When we begin to think of Avhat the bible says we can be reconclsd since the loss of earth is Heaven's gain, it tills our heart i with Joy to know that he was so kind, | gentle and meek and his love was so great for him that he could not leave him in "hii last moment. Deacon Da vis went to sleep in the arms of that Christ whao was his friend. We will miss him more than tongue can tell. His stay the church has been one or pleasure as wen as prom. We UlL1 family hate seen many dark days and places toother, but he always trusted God andtafaie out victorious in the end. the church ouc. Deacon is not dead; to wife and children he! has only turned the corner taking that sweet rest' in the Lord and we shall j see his smiling face again. Though Christ a thousand times. In Bethlehem be born. If he's not born in thee, Thy soul is still forlorn, The cross on Gaialee. Will never save thy soul. The cross in thine own heart, ! Alone can make thee whole. ?
