R. R. Davis, Former Rochester Blacksmith, Summoned At Long Beach, California

Dick Davis, well known former resident of Rochester, Ia., passed away last Friday night at the hospital in Long Beach, Calif., after submitting to an emergency operation for appendicitis, from which he did not rally.

Mr. Davis spent the early part of his life as a blacksmith at Rochester, later moving to Moline, Ill., where he worked at his trade as a welder and boilermaker. Three years ago he removed to Long Beach where he leaves his wife, formerly Annie Atkinson of Rochester, and a daughter, Velma Larson.

Interment was at Long Beach.
