Pioneer Passes Away

Sunday afternoon, Fred C. Davis, a well known pioneer, passed away
after a long illness, due to old age primarily.

He was a resident of this section for over thirty-five years, and in
early days followed the vocation of placer mining on Big Bug, being
at one time engaged with John H. Marion, the journalist of this
city.

He was familiarly known as 'Dad Davis,' a sobriquet given him on
account of his good advice to all, and the sincere manner in which
he endeavored to allay evil between mankind on any occasion.

He was buried yesterday afternoon, and now rests where so many of
the other old pioneers are now sleeping.

He was about seventy-two years of age, and no relatives are know of.

Transcriber's note: Mr. Davis is buried in an unmarked grave at the
Citizens Cemetery in Prescott, Arizona.
