	Deaths of the Day - William Davis
	
New Geneva, Feb. 1 - The funeral of the late William Davis took place 
last Friday from the home of his son Daniel of this place, interment 
at Fairview Church.  Mr. Davis was the oldest inhabitant of southern 
Fayette county, having been born in 1800, and was 98 years, four months 
and three days old.  He came to this sections from the valley of Virginia 
about 1854, purchasing the place known as the "Billy Woods" farm, where 
he resided until about eight years ago, when he sold his farm to F. M. 
Fast and since that time has lived around among his children.  He was 
twice married, his last wife being Emily Bumbaugh.  Twelve children 
resulted from this marriage and one child from the first.  Of the 13 
children only five survive:  William, James, Daniel, Ulysses, and Mrs. 
Hanna Smith.  One sister also survives the deceased,  Mrs. Sara Wishard 
of Sharon, Pa.  Mr. Davis was an experienced furnaceman and worked at 
Springhill and other furnaces in an early day.
