Death of John G. Davis.

John G. Davis died Tuesday morning at his home one mile west of Bar­gersville from cancer, from which he had suffered a long time.

He was a witness in the Turner-Doty trial and about that time he consulted physicians in Indianapolis who pro­nounced his case incurable. This appeared to weigh heavily on his mind and after returning to his home he sel­dom left the place, being confined to his bed a great part of the time.

Deceased was a man held in high esteem by all his acquaintances. His wife died two years ago. The funeral occurred at Bargersville, Wednesday conducted by Elder John C. Miller.
