Obituary
10 Aug 1900
Forrest City Times
Death of J.D.Davenport-Life is uncertain at best, even when the physical man is in perfect state of health, but when a dread malady is known to hold one in its clutches, there is no release. It is useless to attempt at any time to describe the lingering tortures undergone by persons afflicted with tuberculosis. J.D.Davenport, brother of Mr.L.E.Davenport, of this city, departed this life at the latter's home on Davis street Tuesday evening, Aug.7,1900, about 8:45 at the age of thirty five years. For many years Dan Davenport was prominently and honorably known in business circles in this community and enjoyed the friendship and esteem of all with whom he was associated. He was a universal favorite and stood high in social corners. Several years ago he relocated to Lonoke to employment in the mercantile pursuits and where he was married to one of the reigning belles of that city, to which union one child was born. Afterwards they went to Little Rock. A short time ago he and his family came to visit his brother in Forrest City, and became weaker and weaker. The remains were interred Wednesday evening at 5:30 p.m. at the Forrest City Cemetery, services conducted by Rev.W.C.Davidson, of the Methodist church, in the presence of sorrowing and grief stricken friends.
