Rieta Baker Boyden notified me of the death of Cousin "Ren". You can
read hte obit in the Elmira Star-Gazette by visiting the website
www.legacy.com/star-gazette/Obituaries.asp and entering the surname
'Davis' and any date between Oct 26 through Oct 28.
Ren came to our 2006 Campbell Reunion, where she was the oldest
attendee. Our sympathy to her children: Barry, Terry, Lynn and Sara,
her other close cousins, and their families.
The visitation and funeral will be Monday, Nov. 3 in Wellsboro, PA at
the First Presbyterian Church.
The obit gives her birth as July 21 in "Farmington, PA", which can be
confusing to those not familiar with Tioga Co., PA. It actually was in
Farmington Township, Tioga Co., PA -- not one of the several communities
in PA that have a 'Farmington' post office address. But, there was an
article in the Wellsboro Agitator of July 24, 1918, p1, that gave her
birth date as July 20.
