In Alfred, N. Y., Jan. 10, 1889, Joshua Davis, in the 63d year of his age.
Mr. Davis was one of the old and well-known settlers and residents of this country, and among his neighbors and those who had long known him, was held in high respect as a good citizen, neighbor and friend. He was born in Chenango county, and came to this county when a boy of five years, and settled on the land where he made his home, and where he died. In 1855, he married Miss Emily S. Shaw, daughter of the late Mr. P. K. Shaw. During his sickness his mind was moved to see the truths of the Christian religion. He leaves to mourn his loss an affectionate wife and an only son. Funeral at the church, Jan. 17th, the pastor officiating. Text, Rev. 20: 11, 12. J. S.
