Forrest City Times
Death of Robert Edgar Davenport-All that was mortal of Robert Edgar Davenport was laid to rest in The Forrest City Cemetery Monday afternoon, under auspices of Woodmen of the World, amid a concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends, Rev.W.H.Davidson officiating. Bob had been an invalid for over a year with stomach troubles, and had just returned from the Northwest, where he had gone in hopes to recuperate, when he was compelled to take to his bed, and notwithstanding the care and attention of friends, he rapidly failed and his spirit passed away Sunday afternoon. He was born in Washington County Miss. in 1878, and came to Arkansas in 1883. His industry and business qualifications secured him clerkship with the firm of Pettus & Buford, with whom he served until his death, and as an acknowledgment of his worth, the store was closed at time of funeral. Bob was a quiet, unobtrusive young man, and a model as to morals and gentlemenly qualifications, and he will be missed by a circle of friends.
