OBITUARY:
DAVIS - At the home of the grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Bressler, Wilson street, South Salem, Sylvia, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. Davis, aged 6 years, 11 month and 30 days, after an illness of two weeks from spinal disease.
The funeral will take place from Leslie M. E. church Saturday at 2 p.m., Rev. Blackwell officiating. The little one was an only child, and was very dear to the parents and grandparents, although a helpless cripple, and never attending school.
Her favorite song in life was one having for its chorus the workds:
"We are traveling on; we'll soon be there,
Then we'll sing Hosanna."
It is a comforting thought to all who knew her that her pure soul has gone to a higher life, where suffering is no more.
