JOS. G. DAVEY, RETIRED N. P. CONDUCTOR, DIES
PASSED AWAY AT HOME ON RAILROAD STREET AT TWO
O'CLOCK TUESDAY AFTERNOON.
Joseph G. Davey, widely known retired Nickel Plate Conductor, passed away at the family home on Railroad Street at two p.m., Tuesday, aged 69 years, eleven months, and four days. Death was caused by a complication of diseases after a long illness, although he was active until the very last. Mr. Davey was born at Mansfield, Ohio, March 8, 1848, and the first few years of his life were spent in that city, he later moving to a farm in the vicinity of his native town where he grew to young manhood. At Dennison, [Tuscarawas Co.] Ohio, November 19, 1874, he was united in marriage to Miss Millie G. Farrell, the widow who survives, and they have been residents of this city twenty years, coming to this place from Cleveland.
Prior to taking up residence here and until ten years ago, Mr. Davey was actively engaged in the railroad service, being a conductor in the employ of the Cleveland Division of the Nickel Plate, and was forced to retire from active work because of failing health. His condition did not become acute until about three months ago and even during this time he was able to be about the house the greater part of the time.
Surviving with the widow, are two sons and one daughter, George and James Davey and Mrs. Fred Creech, of this city, also two brothers, Wallace of Shelby, Michigan, and Burr of Dixion, Ill. During his long term in the railroad service the deceased established a record for faithfulness and care in exercise of his duties and formed many close acquaintances with officials and other employees in the service by whom his passing will be deeply mourned, as it will be by many friends in other walks of life.
Fraternally the deceased was a member of the Order of Railway Conductors and the Woodmen of the World.
The funeral will be held Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock, from the family home, conducted by Rev. A. T. Foster. The W.O.W. and O.R.C. will attend in a body.
Interment in the Bellevue Cemetery.
