Notes for Minnie Lea DAVIS
"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 164, No 16, p 15, Apr. 21, 1958.
Minnie L., daughter of Henry S. and Frances D. Davis, was born in North Loup, Neb., March 29, 1886, and died at the Good Shepherd Nursing Home, Denver, Colo., March 2, 1958, after an illness of two years.
She lived at North Loup, Neb., for many years and in her early teens was baptized and joined the Seventh Day Baptist Church of that community.
On October 8, 1904, she was married to David A. Davis. The family moved to Denver, in 1930, and later to Wheatridge where she made her home with her son after her husband's death.
Throughout her life she was an active member of her church. She added to her Christian service a cheerful spirit for which she will long be remembered. She knew and loved the Scriptures and in the last hours she repeated many of the psalms with her pastor.
She is survived by one son, (Deacon) Elno R., and two daughters, Nedra F. Shepard and Donna J. Hastings, all of Wheatridge; a sister, Mrs. Maude P. Davis; a brother, Frank L. Davis; nine grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
Funeral services were conducted from the Moore Mortuary, Denver, with the pastor, the Rev. Kenneth E. Smith, officiating. K. E. S.
