Taken from Obituaries of Fountain County, Indiana found by Karen Zach - Crawfordsville
District Public Library July 2007. Joseph DAVIS, son of Isaac and Cass Davis was killed
the 16th of April (sorry no year) by a tree falling on him. Joe would have been 27 the
19th of August but God, having prepared a better home for him called to him to come and
join his angel sister who departed this life not quite a year ago. Joe was kind hearted
and was ever ready to do what he was told and always seemed happy. It was sad to think he
had to go, but he has crossed the dark river of death and landed safe in the arms of Jesus
on that bright celestrial shore. His remains were taken to Zackmire Cemetery and laid to
rest by Undertakers Lowe & Fine. He leaves a father and mother, 3 brothers, four
sisters and host of friends to mourn his loss. he will not only be missed by the family
but by the whole community. It seems hard to say that Joe has gone. We tender the
bereaved family our heartfelt sympathy mingled with the profoundest regret in this sad
event.
