   In Salem, W. Va., Jan. 9, 1895, of general progressive paresis, Mrs. Margaret Davis, in the 79th year of her age.
   She was the widow of the late Dea. Ludwig H. Davis, and had been a faithful and consistent member of the Salem Seventh-day Baptist Church for more than sixty-three years. When but a child she gave her heart to Jesus during a revival led by Eld. Alexander Campbell.
   During the ten years since the loss of her husband, she and her daughter Jennie have lived for each other in their quiet home in Salem. Everybody loved this devoted sister, and she was "Aunt Margaret" to everybody. Kind, considerate, charitable, conscientious and devout, she may truly be said to have "fought a good fight and to have kept the faith." The vast concourse of people who gathered at her funeral attested the high esteem in which she was held in the community. T. L. G.
