Published in the Piscataquis (ME) Observer 2 Apr 1868 p2: "MEMOIR---Died, in Dover, Jan. 17, 1868, Abby Davis, daughter of Isaac and Emeline Davis of Dover, after an illness eleven days, aged ___ yrs. Of her it may be said without flattery that she stood high in the regards of those who knew her, and her acquaintances were many. Intelligent, true and amiable she won the loye(?) and respect of all. From a child she had been thought upon religious subjects, and at the age of ten years, while living in Sangerville, she became especially interested; but whatever might be extent of her experience, she did not make any profession for some years. While here she for some time with a sister and a superintendent, maintained the only Sunday School in town. During the fall of 1863, while attending the Academy in Foxcroft, a deep religious interest pervaded the school. She became again interested, and through the counsel and aid of her teacher, Mr. M. Pitman, after a painful struggle, she emerged into the liberty of a child of God. And though she never took any church relation, that character she consistently maintained til her death. Upon her return from school her christian zeal was the means of her father's awakening---who afterward from the army wrote her many letters of devotion, and died cheered by the faith thus found. Her health, never firm, for the last two months of her life, seemed still more delicate, but yet to the most of her friends her death was a sudden and awful blow. To her however the summons was not unexpected; its shadow had evidently hung over her for months. Expressions dropped from time to time showed that she felt herself nearing the 'mysterious hour,' and that she was calmly making ready for it. And when she ____ the time, she p___ told her friends that she had 'come home to die.' In an affectionate conversation with her brother she urged him to seek Christ, and clung with the plea that it was her dying appeal. As her sickness grew more serious, she begged to hear the word of God read, but her failing hearing making this difficult, she asked for her own pocket bible. It was out in her hand, she turned its leaves, looked upon it and wearily laid it by her side, saying, 'I am so sick!' She never looked upon it again---disease unseated her consciousness, and she lingered in great suffering till death released her on Friday evening, Jan. 17. That death fell heavily upon her widowed mother and the circle of her friends. They loved her and they mourn. The thronged house at her burial and the tears above her coffin gave proof how wide and deep was her hold upon the public heart. But truly we may say, 'It is better to have loved and lost, Than never to have loved.' W. W. Marsm(?) Foxcroft, March 27, 1868"
