Mrs. Annie Davis was born in New York, Jan. 2, 1802, and died at Fort Ripley, Minn., March 6, 1889.
By her first marriage she had two sons, one of whom, HIRAM SWEET, now lives at North Loup, Neb. In 1832 she became the third wife of BENJAMIN DAVIS, who died in Watson, N.Y., leaving her a widow, the second time, with several children, among whom she has since lived. She accepted the faith of the Seventh-day Baptists at the time of her second marriage, and was one of the constituent members of the Watson Church. In 1864 she came with her children to Minnesota, and united with the Carlton Church, of which she continued a member while the church remained in existence. For the last twenty years she has resided with her daughter, MRS. S. S. MAXSON, and was tenderly cared for by her in her declining years. After her mind became impaired by sickness and age, she loved to read her Bible and the RECORDER even though she was unable to comprehend much of what she read. Her son, STANTON DAVIS, was with his sister [Susan Belle Davis/Reynolds/Maxson] the last few days of her life, to help care for her, and assist in the last sad rites of sepulture. Her funeral was attended on the 8th and Eld. A. Mead, S. D. Adventist, spoke words of comfort from Job 14:14, 15. D. P.C. [D. P. Curtis]
