Obituary

Danville

Dr. James Davis, son of B. N. Davis, died at New Orleans last Sunday, Jan. 11. Dr. Davis had been in decline for some time, had spent the summer and fall at Danville, and returned to New Orleans but recently. His sudden death was somewhat unexpected by his friends here.

The death is announced of Dr. James Davis, eldest son of Hon. Bliss N. Davis of Danville. Dr. Davis went south many years since, served in the confederate army during the war, and since its close had practiced medicine in New Orleans.
