Sick But a Few Days
We regret to be called upon to chronicle the untimely death of Charley Davison, the 19-year old son of Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Davison, which occurred Monday morning at his home west of Hopkins.
The disease which caused his death was cerebral meningitis and although he had the best medical attention possible his case was regarded as hopeless from the first.
Charley was a bright young man; was very popular among the young people of his acquaintance and had the respect and esteem of all who knew him. Besides his parents, he leaves two sisters and three brothers who mourn their irreparable loss.
The funeral services were held today (Wednesday) at 1 P. M. at the Union church, 10 miles northwest of Hopkins, conducted by Rev. D. G. Griffith and burial in Shearer cemetery.
The sympathy of the entire community is with the family in their great bereavement which is only intensified when we remember that he was cut down in the flower of youth and the vigor of young manhood.
