MRS. N. W. DAVIS LAID TO REST

Funeral services for Mrs. Maude A. Davis were held at 3 o'clock this afternoon at the home, 1003 East Main Street, by Reverend George L. Lesh, pastor of the First M. E. church. Burial was made in Roselawn cemetery.

Mrs. Davis, wife of Nathaniel W. Davis, died at 6:30 o'clock Saturday afternoon, following a long illness of a complication of diseases.

She was born January 3, 1854, and moved to Urbana when 17 years of age. On March 10th, 1873, she was united in marriage with N. W. Davis, coming to Urbana immediately afterwards. She has since made this city her home, with the exception of three years spent on a farm in Vermillion county.

Surviving Mrs. Davis are her husband and five children: Mrs. Minnie Tipps and Miss Grace Davis, at home; Mrs. John Ely, wife of Fire Chief Ely of Champaign; Harry Clyde Davis of Minneapolis, Minn., and Charles Ernest Davis of Chicago. All were with her at the end.

Mrs. Davis for many years had been prominent in the activities of the first M. E. Church of this city, and also in those of the Royal Neighbors of America, being a past oracle of Charter Oak camp.
