Thomas S. Davis, Sr. 701 West 5th Street, Muncie, Ind., passed away Saturday, 
November 28, at Ball Memorial Hospital. He had been in poor health for several 
years. He was born in Wayne County December 23, 1887 being 76 years eleven 
months and five days old. He was united in marriage to Ollie Clark August 10, 
1910 and to this union were born eight children. A daughter, Evalene, preceded 
him in death. Surviving are his wife, Mrs. Ollie Davis, three daughters, Mrs. 
Roy Earls, Mrs. Roman Braun and Mrs. Carl New; four sons, Russell, Estel, 
Limuel and Thomas Davis Jr., all of Muncie; three sisters, Mrs Polly Burnett, 
Monticello, Ky; Mrs. Jane Whitehead, Hill Top, Ky; Mrs. Mattie Steel, Muncie; 
three brothers Rev. Charlie Davis and Bob Davis, Muncie; Howard Davis, 
Yorktown, Ind. Services were conducted at the Memorial Baptist Church with 
Rev. Ross Dobbs, the pastor of the church, officiating. Burial was in the 
Garden of Memory with the Piepho Funeral Home in charge. Mr. Davis lived in 
Wayne County several years and filled the office as deputy sheriff before 
moving to McCreary County. There he spent several years where he was employed 
with the Stearns Coal and Lumber Company. He was mine foreman at Worley and 
also at Yamacraw. He was superintendent at Paintcliff Mine. He was elected 
Sheriff of McCreary County in 1922 and served a four year term. He was a 
member of the Pleasant Rock Baptist Church at Smithtown, Ky. He moved to 
Muncie 23 years ago from McCreary County. In World War II he was plant guard 
at three Muncie factories---Broderick, Delco Battery and he retired as guard 
from Ball Brothers plant. He was a kind and loving husband and father and a 
wonderful Christain who loved and served the Lord. We will miss his presence 
and kind words, but God loved him best of all. He took him to live with him in 
that building not made with hands. Our loss is his gain, an "Eternal Home in 
Heaven for ever to be with the Lord." ---Sadly missed, his wife, Ollie Davis 
and Children.
