At Davis Junction, Ogle County, Ill., Aug 17th, 1876, of consumption, Julius T. Davis, aged 27 years. The subject of this notice was born at Berlin, Wis. He was baptized and united with the Milton church, while Rev. D. E. Maxson, D. D., was pastor, of which he remained a faithful member until death. He had availed himself, to some extent, of the advantages afforded in Milton College for study, and in January, 1874, removed to Alfred Center, N. Y. As soon thereafter as suitable arrangements could be made, he entered Alfred University, with the design of pursuing a full course of study. But that fearful disease which has blunted (?) so many youthful hopes had already marked him for its victim. He was compelled to leave his studies, and seek a restoration of health. He returned West last September, and finally spent the last days of his earthly life at the home of his brother, Jeremiah Davis, where the deceased, together with his wife and infant child, received every kindness and attention their circumstances demanded. His last days were marked by great suffering, yet he patiently and prayerfully awaited the time of his deliverance. Death came at last as a welcome messenger, and bore away his manly spirit to that God who gave it. An appropriate funeral sermon was preached by a Baptist minister of that vicinity, Rev. Mr. Carr, from Psa 73: 24. May God comfort and abundantly bless the afflicted wife and child. L. E. L.
