• Name	Henry A Davey  [1]
  Birth	May 1821	New York   [2, 3]
  Gender	Male
  Witness-Obituary	Died, in this village, on July 22, 1897, Mrs. Ann Eliza Coan Davey. She was born in this town in 1832, and nearly all her life was a resident of this village. In 1854 she married Mr. Joseph Kern. He entered the civil war and gave his life for his country, dying in 1853 (1863), leaving her with one son, Milo Kern, who is now a resident of South Dakota. In 1881 she was united in marriage with Mr. Henry Davey of this place, and for sixteen years she was one in a home of plenty and happiness. For over six months she was a great sufferer from persistent jaundice. Days would come when she and her friends would hope for recovery, but only to be followed by disappointment and great suffering. She bore all this with great resignation and Christian fortitude. Converted in early life, she soon found a home in the Methodist Episcopal church of this place, to which society she brought the riches of an earnest, active, transparent and sincere character. It did not take long to find out on which side of any question of morals or Christian propriety Mrs. Davey was to be found. Her testimonies in prayer and class meetings, in which she was usually found, whl always given in deep humility and quietness, had in them the ring of prayerful convictions and unquestionable sincerity. Anxious for the prosperity of the church, often more anxious for the conversion of friend or acquaintance, she became a member which the church could ill (afford) to lose. Her cheerful disposition found expression through a bright and radiant face that received a hearty welcome with all who knew her. A useful Christian life has gone from among us and no wishes of a kind husband, a loving son and brother, or faithful ministering of near friends could (undo) it. Gone to the great majority and the unseen glory, we say with saddened hearts, "farewell till life is o'er. W.H.H.
