This community was shocked last Friday evening to learn that Uncle Chas. Davis had come to his death by hanging. Mr. Davis was a quiet old gentleman and numbered his friends by the score. For the past twenty-two years he has had a home with Mr. and Mrs. Nels Peterson, the latter being his niece. He was born in Sweden, Oct. 3, 1835, and came to America in 1870. He never married. He was the last of the original Davis family, his brother having passed away last spring, the result of an accident in Omaha. Several nieces and nephews and a sister-in-law are the close relatives.
