Emily Marie Davis Died In Quitaque
Little Emily Marie, three years of age, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Rob Davis, died Saturday at their home in Quitaque, following an illness of only two or three days. On Thursday evening little Emily Marie fell, cutting a gash on her forehead which required several stitches to close. Taking the anesthetic is thought to have caused pneumonia which caused death Saturday. The remains of little Emily Marie were brought Sunday to Spur for interment, the family being accompanied by a large number of friends from Quitaque and other points. A truck load of flowers, sprigs and wreaths from friends of Mr. and Mrs. Davis surrounded and banked the grave, giving evidence of sympathy and sorrow with the family. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Cooper at the Church of Christ in the afternoon at 4 o´clock. Both Mr. and Mrs. Davis lived and were reared in Spur and Dickens County. They were married here and have many friends who deeply sympathize with them in this sorrow and bereavement.
