DIED. -The announcement on the street Monday forenoon that Hon. STEPHEN DAVIDSON was dead cast a gloom over the whole commmity. His residence is about four miles east of town on the Akron road and it is but a few days since he was in town in the enjoyment of the best of health, and it was no wonder that the unwelcome news dismayed his many warm friends. Mr. Davidson was so well known throughout the county and many portions of the state that scarcely anything could be said of his life and character that is not already known by the public. His two terms in the Indiana Legislature as a Representative from this county and his connection with the agricultural interests of the State as the Vice President of the State Board of Agriculture has given him an extensive acquaintance, and all who knew him speak of him in the highest terms of praise. He was born in Ohio, but is one of the early settlers of this county, where, by hard labor, honesty and frugality he accumulated a fair share of this world's goods, which he leaves to his large and highly respected family. His life pursuit has been that of a farmer, in which he always took a great delight. So attached was he to it that when the Grange organization for its greater development was brought into existence he was the prime mover in the organization of the numerous lodges that now abound in this county. His funeral took place on Wednerday and was largely attended.
