"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 114, No 6, p 141, Feb. 6, 1933.
Mrs. Keith Davis passed away at the Colorado General Hospital in Denver, November 7, 1932, at the age of twenty-four years.
Thelma Patterson, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B. P. Patterson, was born April 8, 1908. at Gentry, Ark. The family lived for some time at North Loup, Neb. Six years ago they moved to Denver, Colo. She was a charter member of the Denver Seventh Day Baptist Church, which was organized in 1928, and was a leader in the Christian Endeavor society of that church from the time of its organization in 1930 and spared no thought or effort to make it a success. On April 4, 1931, she was married to Keith Davis. Mr. Davis' uncle, Rev. H. Eugene Davis, performed the ceremony. It was indeed a happy occasion when two such consecrated young people were joined by God for life in his service. There was very little, if anything, to mar their happiness for eighteen months.
Mrs. Davis was the type of Christian to whom the Lord's will meant more than any material advantage. She was very much in prayer about the work of her church and Christian Endeavor society and was continually holding her friends up before God in prayer. Her faith, especially during the last week or two of suffering with brain tumor, has been a great source of strength to those who knew her. Almost her last words were to tell how much such passages as the fourteenth chapter of John meant to her and to repeat with a smile on her face those words from the Twenty-third Psalm, "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil for thou art with me." Mere human beings cannot estimate what was accomplished by her work and prayers. The Lord has wonderfully supported and blessed the bereaved ones. Her going has been a crushing blow to the young husband, but the same faith that held her up to the last is upholding him as is shown by a letter he wrote to the Denver Church, a part of which is quoted: Through the grace of God I will strive to carry on the unfinished work that she started. I ask your prayers that the Holy Spirit may come into my heart and fill the vacancy that Thelma left when God called her home to be with him."
The farewell service was conducted by Pastor Ralph H. Coon on the afternoon of November 8. Interment was at the Fairmount Cemetery in Denver.
