Edward L Davit Pastes Away.
. Miami, Fla,, April 5, 1920.
Editco' Davie Record, and many
Mends and relatives in Davie
County and throughout North
Carolina:
'I announce the sad news that
Unde £d, as he is familiarly known
passed away at the Davis home at
Ifiicie, Fla., Saturday, March
aylh, a few minutes before twelve
o'dod:, noon, and at his request,
w^ laid to rest in the Fort Fierce
cemetery surrounded by his loved
ones with whom he has made his
home for the past eight or nine
years, and many kind fiiends he
has made since coming to Florida.,
Unde Rd has been in feeble
health for several years and shortly
after Christmas suffered a stroke of
pardysis from which be never ral-
li^. Everything th^ kind and
loving hands, could do for him has
been done. He often expressed a
desire to get wdl, although he was
r^gned to the will of God and was
ready when the call came. Unde
Ed' was 73 years of age.
. I asked him a few days before
his death, in one of his ludd. Inter
vals, if it ^1^ all right with him—
if he saw his way dear—and here-
plied in the affirmative.
About two years ago he express
ed a desire to live a Christian life
and connected himself with the
Presbyterian church, at Fort Pierce
and lived a consistent member to
the end. His kind pastor virited
him frequently during his last ill
ness and performed the last sad
nte on a. beautiful .. Snnday.^^^er^^
noon, ifarcli 28th, and h^wi& laid
to test under a bower of orange'
blooms and other beautiful flow-
ers;Ona bluff overlooking Indian
^yer, on whose waters he and his
loved nephew, Ed' Davis, Jr., spent
many pleasant hours in the nt^er-
ous ^rts for which it is so noted
and which he loved so well. It is
there he awaits the resurrection.
(Mrs.) J. W. DAVIS.
