Elizabeth Jane Davis was born October 5, 1841, at Jackson Center, Ohio, and passed from this life at her home in Garwin September 12, 1931. She was the daughter of James M. and Amanda J. Davis.
On January 1, 1857, she was united in marriage with Dennis Davis, who died June 20, 1905. Three children were born to this union. The oldest, a son, died in infancy. Two daughters, Mrs. Eva M. Hurley and Mrs. Nettie Thompson, survive. In 1864 they took into their home a nephew, William D. Kennedy, and cared for him as one of their own.
In early life she joined the Jackson Center Seventh Day Baptist Church. She remained a loyal member until the family moved to Iowa in the fall of 1866, when she with other members of her family joined the Carlton Seventh Day Baptist Church. She remained an active member during her life. She was always interested in all the departments of church work and served as president of the Ladies' Aid for several years.
Farewell services were held on Monday afternoon, September 14, in the Seventh Day Baptist Church in Garwin, conducted by Pastor J. H. Hurley, assisted by Rev. Mr. Myers of the U. B. Church. The body was laid beside that of her husband in the Garwin Cemetery. J. H. H.
