Alvis Dwight Davis
The Anget of Death, that silent
viaitor who comes to one and all,
called on FHday afternoon, Nov
ember 21 and removed from this
world of suff^ing and sorrow,
Alvis Dwight Davis, second son
of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Davis, of
Cana, Route one.
Dwight was born December
22,1902. His passing at socb an
early age, thinking in human
terms, seem to be all the more
regrettable in that life just be
ginning to open up its rich store
of possibilities, but it was God's
will that he should be taken, not
ours, and we shall be called, 'too,
so let us live to meet him in that
world beyond, where peace and
joy shall dwell forever,
Dwight was a brave and patient
sufferer for nearly six months
from a complicatioo of diseases.
He was attended by several phy
sicians. watched over day and
night by loved ones and friends,
and it seemed that every act
possible that kind and loving
h^da could perform were ren
dered for bis comfort and recov
ery, but all were in vain. Tho
our loss is Heaven's gain. He
wanted to get .well, but was
ready when the summons arriv
ed to go to that home where there
is no sorrow; no pain nor death.
His parting message to loved ones
and ail, were to meet him In
Heaven.
Dwight was a member. of the
Courtney Baptist cHnrch, Yadkin
county.. The funeral services
were conducted Sunday Nov. 23,
from Eaton's Baptist church, by
Rev. V. M, Swaim, of Winsion-
Salem. Intermeut was in the
cemetery near the church.
The high esteem in which this
young man was held, was attest*
ed by the number and beauty of
floral tributes and by the large
concourse of relatives and friends
who came to pay him their final
respect and to share the grief of
his bereaved ones.
Besides his parents he is sur
vived by two brothers, Bynum
and Robert Davis and one sister
Mattie Lou Davis, also a host of
relatives and friends, to all of
whom we extend our deepest
sympathy and may the great
Comforter soothe the sorrowing
hearts of those who weep.
Benest "It is well,"
