Notes for George West DAVIS
"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 37, No 28, p 8, July 14, 1881.
Near North Loup, Neb., July 3d, 1881, of dropsy, George W.Davis, in the 67th year of his age. Bro. Davis experienced a change of heart when he was about eighteen years of age, and was baptized by Eld. Alexander Campbell, and united with the First Verona (N. Y.) Seventh day Baptist Church, and since that time he has striven to walk in the truth. Toward the close of his life he seemed to ripen up for glory, and we trust that he has entered into rest. G. J. C.
Notes for Zilpha Ann (Spouse 1)
"The Loyalist"; North Loup, Nebraska; Friday, October 9, 1908, p1.
Mrs. Zilpha Davis was born at Verona, New York, September 7, 1820, and died at the home of her only son, H. E. Davis, Monday morning, October 5, 1908 - thus she was a little over 88 years of age at the time of her death. In 1847 she was married to George W. Davis. Their home for some time was at Watson, N. Y. From there she with her husband moved to Minnesota, and later to this place, where Mr. Davis died twenty-seven years ago. For nineteen years, Aunt Zilpha, as she was called, has been totally blind, but she bore her trouble with Christian grace, knowing that "He doeth all things well."
Her maiden name was Williams and she was of the sixth generation of the descendents of Roger Williams.
Funeral services were held from the S. D. B. church, Tuesday forenoon conducted by her pastor, Geo. B. Shaw assisted by Rev. Oscar Babcock.
