Davis, Mrs. Mary Emeline
Weekly Shasta Courier
Shasta, Shasta County, California
Saturday, February 6, 1886
ONO P. O., CAL Jan. 19th, 1886
ED. COURIER:--It now becomes my sad duty to announce to your numerous readers the death of Mrs. Mary Emeline Davis, a devoted wife and loving mother--consort of J. P. W. Davis. She breathed her last at her residence, near Ono, on Sunday night, at about 12 o'clock, P. M., January 17th. Mrs. Davis was born in Trimble county, Kentucky, on the 29th day of March, A. D. 1844--the daughter of Rev. F. C. Buchanan. She was married to Mr. Davis on the 31st day of January, 1863, in Howard county, Indiana. Mrs. Davis crossed the plains with her husband to California, in 1864, and landed in Healdsburg, Sonoma county, on the 15th day of June, '64, where she is well and favorably known. She is the mother of eight children, seven of whom are now living in Shasta county--three of whom are married, and are mothers, and four of the younger are left with their father. One, an infant dead, lies buried on Sunny Hill.
Mrs. Davis has suffered for several years from that dreadful disease, consumption. A few weeks before her demise dropsey set in and the two complaints were more than her frail body could stand. She died easy, as if passing into a gentle slumber. Four minutes before her death she called her husband to her bedside and told him that she was dying; these were her last words.
The funeral services were very feelingly conducted by
her Pastor, Rev. W. S. Kidder, at the Ono church, on
Tuesday, at 2 o'clock, January 19th--after which the
remains were conducted to the new graveyard in Ono,
and there interred. The reputation of Mrs. Emma Davis
is so well known that it is hardly worth our while to
state that she died beloved and respected--she was a
member of the Baptist church, at Ono, and the members
of that denomination assisted and attended the burial
services as well as the interment. Mrs. Davis leaves
several very young and beautiful children, and the
general bereavement of the family is deeply felt by
the general public. Mrs. Davis was a kind mother and
a loving wife.

Death has again intruded his unwelcome presence in our community. The last cruel blow gathered home to his fathers, our old and esteemed citizen, Judge D.S. Lane, who died last Sunday morning at 5 o'clock. Saturday, Dec. 26th, Judge Lane left Bedford for his home, and was attacked that night with pneumonia, and lingered until last Saturday when he quietly expired. Judge Lane was nearly 79 years of age, but was quite active, and up to his last illness enjoyed much better health than is usual with men of his age. He has for years served the people of Trimble county in various public offices with credit to himself and the people who elected him. Judge Lane, under the old constitution, by virtue of his office - being the oldest justice - served as sheriff of the county and as presiding officer of the court, after which he was elected county judge, in which capacity he served the people for several years. At the time of his death he was one of the justices of this precinct. He was highly esteemed by the people of the county, and leaves a host of friends to mourn his loss.

THE TRIMBLE DEMOCRAT
BEDFORD, KENTUCKY, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 9. 1913. NUMBER
27.
Mrs. Lizzie Louden died at her home at Hatton,Ky., Oct
3, 1913. The remains were brought to the Campbellsburg
Cemetery for burial, and Rev. J. M. Walker conducted
the funeral services at the Baptist church there. She
had united with that church at Providence when about
15 years old, and she lived a true and faithful life.
Mrs. Louden was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sam
Demaree, of this county. She married Noble Louden Nov.
17, 1912. Her friends and family have one consolation,
and that is they may so live as to meet her hereafter
for "She lived for those who loved her, Whose hears
were kind and true: For the Heaven that smiled above
her And awaited her spirit too: For all human ties
that bound her: For the task that God assigned her:
For the bright hopes lift behind her And the good that
she could do." Irvin Louden.
Irvin was Noble's brother.

In Memoriam
Of Noah Parker, who died January 14, 1875, at Bedford Springs:
Through days well spent in prayer and praise,
In words and works of love,
God led his feet by joyous ways
To His blest light above.
Not all serene his blameless life -
For still to man is given,
To reach through care, and woe, and strife,
This heights of rest in Heaven.
But when His peace so pure and deep,
Dwells in the faithful breast,
Though lips may quiver and eyes may weep,
No storm can break its rest.
And such his lot; our hearts bereft,
Still feel this golden truth,
The memories his dear life hath left
Shall bear eternal fruit.
O, loved and lost! from rest so sweet,
Still lift to God thy prayer;
Guide still our weak and wandering feet
To light and safety there.
E.R.P.
