At Shiloh, N. J., Nov. 14, 1892, Belford E. Davis, son of Elnathan and Catherine Davis, aged 71 years, 3 months and 15 days.
He was married to Ami Ayers, March 17, 1843, to whom were born eight children, only three of whom are now living; two sons of this place, and a daughter, Mrs. Irving Saunders, of Rochester, N. Y. Mr. Davis was quite an extensive reader, and was well informed generally. He has been a lonely man since the death of his much-esteemed wife a year and a half ago, and within a few months has declined rapidly. Funeral services were held at the church and remarks were made by the pastor from passages found marked in the Bible used by the deceased. I. L. C.
