Capt. B. F. Davis Dies Suddenly
Honored Citizen of Stewart County – Commanded 10th Georgia Company
Columbus relatives received the sad news yesterday of the death of Captain B. F. Davis, which occurred at ten o’clock Wednesday night at his home at Renfroe, Georgia.  While he has been in ill health for some time his death was sudden and unexpected.
Captain Davis was one of the most prominent citizens of Steward County and was well known through this section of the state.  He was born at Salem, Atlanta, in 1838 and moved to Stewart County after spending his boyhood days in Alabama.  When the war began he enlisted and was elected captain of Company C of the Tenth Georgia Regiment.  After serving through the war he returned to Renfroe and spent the remainder of his life in that community, devoting his time to his farming interests.  He married to Miss Emma P. McLester in October, 1870.  He was a member of the Missionary Baptist Church.
In 1878 Captain Davis represented Stewart County in the Georgia Legislature.
He is survived by his wife and eight sons and one daughter, as follows:
Mr. Cranford Davis, of Omaha, Georgia
Mr. Frank Davis, of Rome, Georgia
Mr. Grover Davis, of Columbus, Georgia
Mr. Hershel Davis, of Lumpkin, Georgia
Messrs, Will, Charley, Lawrence and Dawson Davis, and Miss Maude Davis, of Renfroe, Georgia.

The deceased was highly esteemed by those who knew him, and his death has caused sadness throughout the Renfroe community.
The remains were carried to Richland, Georgia, where the funeral took place at 4:30 o’clock yesterday afternoon.
