MR. LINDLEY DAVIS died of pneumonia January 24, 1879, at the residence of MR. B. D. PIERCE. His age was 68 years and 16 days. He and his wife, who is a sister of MRS. PIERCE, came here about two months ago on a visit to their relatives. Some time before his death he was attacked with pneumonia, and after a short illness passed over the river. He was from Tama County, where he had resided for more than twenty-five years. The remains were buried in the cemetery near this city on Sunday last. MR. DAVIS was a man highly esteemed by those who knew him. His aged wife and four children have the sympathy of the community.
