MANERVIA A. (FLEEMAN) DAVIS

 

Mrs. Manervia A. Davis, nee Fleeman, better known to her friends and neighbors as "Grandma Davis," passed from this life into the life eternal last Monday morning at 1 a. m., Febuary [sic]18, 1921, at the home of her daughter near Masters, Cedar County Missouri. She was born February 21, 1847, in Cedar County, the county in which she spent her life. In 1867 she was married to George Davis, and became the mother of eight children, two of which preceded her in death, Albert and Manervia Davis. Georgie, Woody, Moody, Sangey, Mrs. Charles Griffin and Mrs. William Lynch are living and were all at the bedside of their mother when she passed away, with the exception of one. Grandma Davis became a Christian early in life, and united with the Methodist church. She was privileged to give a long life in service to her Master. The writer is familiar with the last few years of her life, during which time she seemed to be very much devoted to her Bible and to her God. She leaves to mourn her departure a number of relatives besides her children, and a great number of friends. A brief funeral service was held at the home, and also one at the Bethel church, after which the remains were laid to rest in that cemetery. W.L.
