At Milton Junction, Wis., Feb. 25, 1885, Mr. Jasper T. Davis, aged 58 years, 2 months, and 3 days. Bro. Davis has been in failing health for several years with bilious and lung troubles. He was a member of the Milton Junction Seventh day Baptist Church, and was universally respected as an upright, warm hearted, earnest Christian. He leaves a widow, a son and a daughter, and many relatives and friends to mourn his loss. He professed faith in Christ, and was baptized at the age of twelve years, and thus grew up a Christian soldier, faithful and true. N. W.

Mrs. Lovina R. Davis, wife of the late Jasper T. Davis, died at Milton Junction, Wis., Oct. 7, 1886, aged 57 years, 2 months and 26 days. The deceased, the daughter of Fitch Brown, was born in Scott, N. Y., July 29, 1829. Her parents moved to La Porte, Ind., when she was five years of age, and eight years later came to Wisconsin, settling at Milton. Aug. 28, 1852, she was married to Jasper T. Davis, when they immediately moved to Waushara county, Wis., where they remained five years, returning to Milton in 1857, to spend the rest of their lives. At the age of 28 Sister Davis became a member, by baptism, of the Milton Seventh-day Baptist Church, and subsequently of the Milton Junction Church. She was a woman of undoubted Christian character, firm and steadfast in her adherence to Christian duty. An affectionate wife and mother, a kind friend, loved and respected by all. Her last illness was long and painful, but she bore her suffering with patience, fully trusting him who can "Make dying bed feel soft as downy pillows are." A daughter and son and a large number of relations and friends mourn their loss, but rejoice in her eternal gain. In the absence of her pastor, the funeral was conducted by the writer, assisted by Bro. J. L. Huffman, preaching a sermon from Rev. 2: 17. S. H. B.
