Julia Ann Davis Obituary

Died on Wednesday evening the 14th inst., Miss Julia Ann Davis, in the 22nd year of her age. In the death of the deceased her parent has lost a kind and dutiful daughter; her immediate relatives an affectionate sister; and her acquaintances a sincere friend. By her amiable disposition she had endeared herself to all who knew her. She was a worthy and acceptable member of the Methodist Protestant Church. A short time before her death she endeavored to sing the words: “Jesus all the day long was my joy and my song;” but was unable to complete them.

“Grave, the guardian of her dust,
Grave, the treasury of the skies,
Every atom of thy trust
Rests in hope again to rise.”
