last tribute of esteem, to Fmnk M.
Davis, Jr., 82, a member of one of
the pioneer families of this section, a
large landowner and a dtisen, who
had mined much prominence in the
financial and political life of Pitt
county during the twenty-fas-, jegfc
of his residence here.
Mr. Davis succumbed to kidney
complications in a Richmond hos
pital, Christmas morning, following
a keg period of failing health and a
critical illness of several days dura
tion.
Final rites were conducted from the
residence on North Main street at
elesen o'clock, Friday morning, by
the Rev. Z. & T. Cox, pastor of the
Christian Church, with the Rev. E.
S. Cbates, of the Presbyterian Church,
reading the Scripture references and
the Rev. E. W. Holmes, Baptist pas
tor, offering prayer. Business was
suspended here during the funeral
hour. ^ . * _ ???.;
The Rev. Mr. Cox paid a high tri
bute to Mr. Davis as a humanitarian,
basing his eulogy on the Bible as
surance that "he that giveth a cup of
cold water in His name will not lose
his reward." The minister and
friend said in part, "Truly a great
prince has fallen in Israel.' Frank
Davis believed'firmly in applying the
teachings of Issue in his relation
ship* with people. He expressed in
his deeds, regardless of race or color
or creed, what he believed in Christ.
,He gave more than the proverbial
cold water, he gave where the needj
Was and what It was, and the influ
ence of his kindly spirit and the -ex
ample of service to his feUowman
will live in our hearts and bear fruit
in the years to come. He is gone,
the torch is ours. You and I are to
follow in the footsteps of all <&ri*-j
tian servants if w? wish to ratt* the!
world in which we live a better
worfd."
The minister also paid*. tribute 4e
Mr. Davis' attributes of kindness and
consideration as evidenced in his
home life and the family eirele.
