February 16, 1898 Mr. John W. Davis had a large tumor cut out of his side on Saturday

Daily Telegraph - Ot 15, 1907 The death of John W Davis, one of the oldest and most respected residents of Springfield, Kings Co., occurred on Oct 9, after an illness of ten days. Mr. Davis was born in Springfield in 1833. Choosing farming as his occupation, he, by his industry, has left behind him one of the finest farm in that section of the country. In 1854 he married Sarah Jane Sprague, who predeceased him a little more than four years. Of this union six children were born, all of whom are left to mourn the loss of a kind and loving father. The sons are Dr E N of this city; A W of Hatfield Point, and C D on the homestead. The daughters are Mrs A W Jones of Springfield; Mrs J D Wetmore of Lower Prince William, and Mrs C I Cain of Stewarton, Kings Co. He is also survived by twelve grandchildren, two brothers and four sisters. Mr Davis came to the city a little more than two weeks ago to visit his son, Dr E N Davis. He was then in the best of health, but immediately on his return home he was stricken down, living only a few days.
