bliss-
A kindly, vivid, intense spirit bade
farewell to this and entered into the
other life early last Thursday morn-
ing when, after a few weeks' illness,,
Mrs. George Davies closed her eyes
on all earthly things.'
Mrs, Davies had been very ill for
weeks, but so gallant a fight did she
make, so much alive did she appear
when she rallied from periods df ex-
treme weakness, that her friends
fondly hoped she might again regain
health and be Oared `to thein for a
time. But thefrail body gave out
and quietly the spirit fled.
Mrs. Myles was in hei eighty-third
year but so active and alert was she
in both body and mind that one didn't
think of her as old. Her interest in
everything about her was keen right
to the last. She was frail in appear-
ance and for some years her hourly
had failed, which prevented her ming-
ling much with the „public, but she
was wonderfully alert`to the needs of
those about her. The town in general
knew little of her but those who came
in contact with her were well aware
of her generous; kindly? interest. Sho
was never so happy as when .she was
doing something for someone. To be
ill or in need of any kindly n.inistra-
tions was all she wanted to know, her
iiiinistering hand ways outeivetched,at.
once to the limit of her ability. Child-
ren were, her especial care andmany
a little child was remembered at the.
Christmasseason, or on a ibighday,
and it was marvelous how she remem-
bered birthdays. "She was always
good to us kids," was the sincere, and
eloquent testimony of one boy when
he heard of her passing. -
Mrs. Davies wag before her mar-
riage Mary Jane Phillips ,daughter of
the late William Phillips. She was
born in Toronto, her father owning
property on; the Corner of what is
now Mtge and Richniond streets.
Later the family moved to 'Markham
'and later still. to Stanley township,
where for several years they lived
on the, second concession. It was white
there that she became acquainted
with Mr. Davies and they -were mar-
ried fifty-six years agq, Eight child-
ren were born to them, three,having
died and five, four daughters and one
son, survive ' Mrs. Haxt'i4 11 arsh of
«Detroit; Miss Margaret, a deeconnes •,;
Chicago; and Newton, Mae and. Bessie
at ,home. One sister Mrs. M, Walker
of Detroit, and emir ,brobhe`s;,J'ohn
Phillips, Harvey,, . North Dakota,
Henry Phillips, Detroit; Geo, in Cali:;
fornia and _ Charles in Florida, also
survive. The, members of her family

Mrs. Davies:. was a member of Was
ley church and she loved to attend -its
services, going regularly until the;
walk became too long for her, the last
couple of years, even though her af-
fliction 9revented her getting the full
benefit of the service.
PEAR SINGER iN Tf'LORiis1,
A number of her Clinton friends
have been listening' in recently to
Jacksonville, Florida, and have heard
Mrs. Howard Humphreys sing. Her
station is WJAX (335.9) and those
having radios: might tune in and hear
her sometimes.. Mrs. Humphreys
says; she is going to give a concert
especially for her C1'4nton friends this
winter, sometime. She will probably
announce the date so that all. who
wish may listen,
