MRS. ELIZA DAVIS.
Mrs. Eliza, wife of Ebenezer Davis of Wyoming, died January 22, 1885, of heart disease, aged seventy-nine. Her death was very sudden, she being apparently as well as usual up to the last fifteen minutes. Mrs. Davis was one of the pioneers, the family having come to Grand Rapids in 1836 from Wilson, Niagara county, N. Y. She was a native of Burlington, Vt. Her husband, Mr. Ebenezer Davis, who survives her, is about eighty-five years old, and she was the mother of Supervisor James N. Davis and Ex-Deputy Sheriff Horace Davis of this city, and Reuben E., Jerome G-., Eliza S. and Emeline B. Davis of Wyoming township, and Mrs. J. A. Knowles and Mrs. Lucy J. Moody. The family has been almost absolutely free from deaths during fifty years. Mrs. Davis leaves behind her children, grandchildren* great-grandchildren, and hosts of warmly attached friends.
