"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 42, No 52, p 8, Dec. 30, 1886.
On Davis Creek, Valley Co., Neb., Dec. 10, 1886, of paralysis, Jane Davis, widow of Benjamin Davis, in the 76th year of her age. Sister Davis had been a Christian for many years, and her life seemed to ripen up like a beautiful field of wheat. The last earthly church with which she was connected was the Carleton (Minn.) Church, and we trust she has now found her name among the "washed in the blood of the Lamb," and where all trials and sorrows are forever at an end. G. J. C.
