Funeral services were held yesterday afternoon at the Church of Christ for T.A. Davis of this city, who died in the pulpit of the church after delivering a fifteen-minute invitation talk and song at the morning services Sunday morning. The services were conducted by Elder Thomas C. Whitfield of Searcy, Ark., and interment was in the Mt. Zion cemetery.
Mr. Davis, who was 65 years of age, was born at Parson, Tenn., June 13, 1875, and soon after his marriage to Miss Dora Riggs on July 13, 1902, he moved to Steele. For a number of years he owned a cafe and bus station in Steele, but last year retired from active work and moved on his farm at Denton. He joined the Church of Christ at the age of 17 years and has been a member since then. He has been a deacon of the church for the past 18 years.
He is survived by his wife, one son, V.I. Davis of Steele, and two daughters, Mrs. Lester Wood of Portageville and Mrs. Curry Allbritton of Steele.
