Her entire left side was affected. She lapsed into a comatose state Friday night. Hers is the second death in a family of thirteen. She had been in failing health during the last two years. Mrs. Davis was a native of Royer, this county, and was born August 2, 1855, being the daughter of Charles C. and Hannah M. Nepper, both deceased. In October, 1873, she wedded J. L.
