RICHARD G. DAVIES. GRANVILLE, NEW YORK

The death of Richard Davies occurred at his home in this village in the early morning of Tuesday, October 5th, after months of suffering.

Richard G Davies was born in Bethesda, North Wales, June 25th, 1851. He came to this country in his early childhood and was one of the oldest of the Welsh residents of this village.

He was the possessor of a fine tenor voice and for many years was leader of the choir in the Welsh C. M. church, of which he was a faithful member. Of a quiet unassuming nature, he was best loved by those who knew him best. The wife and daughter he has left have the sympathy of the community.

The funeral will be held from the Welsh church Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The lodge of True Ivorites of which he was a member, will have charge.
