(Excerpts from a memoriam) Faith comes by hearing the Word of God and Nannie as we all knew her fully realized her dependence on her Divine Father for the past 12 years, being a consistent member of the Baptist church and praying in the last days of her sickness to be allowed to live in order to raise her month old baby daughter, a pure Christian girl, but God knows best and her soul was wafted across the Great Divide at eight o'clock on Wednesday, October 8 at the age of 34 years, 10 months and 11 days. Nannie's life was an open book wherein were no blotted pages of conceit or hypocrisy - one that was an inspiration to her many friends, always lending loyally of her kindness to every one that came in contact with her. She was an ardent lover of a quiet, simple home life. She was a great lover of children. Many a young lad and lass of the Morning Star neighborhood knows of the days of happiness she helped them see when she lived there with her parents in 1910 to 1918, having lived the past 12 years in Tulsa, Okla. She had scores of friends there. That was demonstrated by the many beautiful sprays of flowers that were sent to accompany her body to its resting place in the Hart cemetery. The singers from Bentonville, the friends who assisted with the services and the givers of flowers are sincerely thanked by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W.H. Davison, of Latona, Ohio, her brother Harry of Bloomville, New York; Lester Middleton, her husband; Mr. and Mrs. Joe Middleton and Mr. and Mrs. J.C. Harris of Rogers. M. Scott.
