It devolves upon us in this issue to chronicle the death of one of the most honored and respected of our earliest settlers, in the person of Wade H. Davis, who departed this life at his residence in the northeast part of town on Tuesday, the 22d inst. At 7 o'clock P.M. Mr. Davis was born in West Virginia on the 10th of November, 1796, and consequently was nearly 81 years of age at the time of his demise. He moved from West Virginia to Tennessee, from that state to Platte county, and from Platte county to Nodaway county in the fall of 1842, remaining here ever since that time. The deceased leaves a dutiful and beloved wife, Martha Drury Davis, one year his senior, to mourn his loss. They were joined in the holy bonds of wedlock when Mr. Davis was but nineteen years of age and enjoyed together the happiness and domestic bliss flowing from a loving connubial relation for over sixty years. They had a family of six children, four of whom are now living; viz: Mrs. G. W. Long, Jas. M. Davis, S. H. Davis, who lives in Nebraska, and Hiram Davis. Mr. Davis was a member of the Methodist church for fifty-five years, and was a true christian man. His was a meek, gentle, loving, confiding spirit, full of compassion for his fellow men, with a deep sympathy for the distressed and afflicted. He was a good citizen, law-abiding and peaceable, and ever enjoyed the greatest pleasure in imitating the example of doing good of his Divine Master, in whom he so implicitly relied with all the living, active faith of an earnest christian. His life was one of purity. His many virtues will be written on perpetual record in the hearts of his many relatives and friends. He was taken with palpitation of the heart and a chill on Monday when alone at home, his wife being away that day. A few hours after, being called upon by W. C. Orear, Esq., he expressed himself as believing that he was going to die and perhaps die alone. He said he was happy, however, and not afraid to die. The next evening at 7 o'clock when surrounded by his loving wife and others near and dear to him he passed away quietly with a look of triumph o'erspreading his face, to the beautiful home of the soul in the world of light and love. The funeral services were conducted by Revs. O'Howell and Lake at the M. E. church, South, on Wednesday at 2 o'clock P. M., after which his remains were taken to the cemetery north of town and consigned to their last resting place. Truly, a good man has been called home. ------------------- 1850 census, Nodaway Co, Mo: Waid H Davis 53 NC (error?) Martha Davis 53 VA Martha J Davis 20 Tenn Hiram D Groves 5 Mo
