CLYDE DAVIS DIED EARLY WEDNESDAY

Apparently in Good Health, Winterset Man Succumbs to Heart Attack

Clyde Davis, well-known Winterset resident, died suddenly at his home here shortly before 2 a.m. Wednesday of a heart attack. He was 39 years old.

Davis' death came as a shock to all acquaintances, for he was never known to have heart trouble. He had worked until 11 p.m. Tuesday night at the North Side cafe, and at that time appeared to be in excellent health and spirits. Three hours later he was dead.

Davis was the son of W. F. and Nora White Davis, and was born on a farm near Earlham. He attended school in Earlham, and as a young man took up farming, which he followed for most of his life. During the past few years he had lived in Winterset.

He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Hattie Davis, now of California; his father, Will F. Davis of Winterset; five brothers, Frank Davis of Winterset, Albert Davis of Des Moines, Cecil Davis of New Sharon, Ed Davis of Winterset, and Russell Davis of Winterset; and two sisters, Mrs. Arthur Bainter of Van Meter and Mrs. Harry Brown of Des Moines.

Funeral arrangements had not been completed as the Madisonian went to press Wednesday afternoon.
