Charles Davis was born in North Carolina in 1825. At tho ago of four years his family moved to Indiana, where they remained 13 years and thon removed to Iowa, He was I ^ married in 1850. He was a man of much ability and laid up much earthly 0jr, treasure for his wife and family. He at was a man who done all in his power golt; to make life a pleasure to those *m( around him. His health was good j ’ till noarly a year ago, when he was taken with the rheumatism, as some | to? one termed it, while others termed it to be canser of tho bone. But most people think it was a general tearing I Tor down and wearing out of the system | nca from bard and continued work. All was done that human aid could do to Rave him, but his tuno had ccme.Last March he went to Kansas, hopiug that the climate might U«Jp him, but he received little encouragement. He returned only to tind that he must snffer till the muscular system was worn out. He moved to Union last fall, where he made his home until his death. Bust Wednesday morning at 2 o’clock ho broatbed his iier last, and his spirit returned to God she who gave it. He was fully prepared ore to leave this woild of sorrow, pain and death to make his homo iu the New Jerusalem. He was heard to remark: •’How much longer must I suffer?”Ho leaves a wife and 8 children to mourn his loss. Tlius wo see a father who has loved his family, who has done all in his power to make life a pleasure, taken from our midst. No more will the children hear his call.No more will the wife welcome him home. He is gone for ever. There will be sorrow, there will be a longing io meet that fathor on the other shore, where the sorrows of life aro not known. There will be great rejoicing in heaven for tho Lord has called one of his chosen to come up higher, and his reward shall be well doue thou good and faithful servant that has been faithful over a fowthings, I will make thee ruler over tho many.
