Obituary:
Mrs. Sarah C. Davis, the daughter of David and Lucy Baughman, was born at Oak Point, Clark County, Illinois, March 27, 1848, and embarked to the shores of the life beyond the grave on the morning of February 20, 1920. The duration of her earthly career being 71 years, 10 months, and 23 days.
On the 22nd of August 1867, she was married to James Davis. Unto them were born eleven children, four sons and seven daughters. Five, only of her children survive her. They are as follows: Rolla F. Davis, Mrs. Mary O. Shadley, wife of B. F. Shadley, J. Arthur Davis, Mrs. Lucy Detro, wife of Ferb Detro, and Mrs. Ella Roberts, wife of Amos Roberts.
When she was converted, she became a member of the Southern Methodist church on March 1, 1885; and 17 years ago this spring she became a member of the church of the United Brethren in Christ at Olive chapel, six miles south of Casey, where she retained her church membership until the time of her death.
She was stricken with paralysis just two years to the day prior to the day of her demise. While she made some improvement after paraletic stroke, she never fully recovered; but the immediate cause of her death was heart trouble.
For some time previous to her death, she has had premonitions of her going away, and lived in a way, some of her earlier years over again. She showed signs of distress by wondering what her little children would do without her.
She has gone to the House of Many Mansions, where there is no more pain, sorrow, nor distress, but where she may enjoy the blessings of eternity with her Redeemer.
Among many friends left behind her are an only brother, Jesse Baughman, her five children and a number of grandchildren to mourn.
Funeral services were conducted at the Olive chapel, U. B. church, on the afternoon of Feb. 21, 1920, by Rev. Myers and Sitzinger. Interment in the Baughman cemetery.

Bio:
Mrs. Lucy Baughman died at her home in Oak Point, April 27th, 1896.
Mrs. Baughman, with her husband, David, was one of the earliest settlers of Johnson township. She was born in Deleware county, Ohio, Sept. 16th, 1821. Her maiden name was Lucy Buck, and she was the second daughter of Andrew and Olive (Horr) Buck. She was married to Mr. Baughman, May 6, 1841, and a week or so afterward started in a two-horse wagon to seek a location in a new country and to build themselves a future home. After about two week's travel, they located on section 20 of this township, on the 16th day of June. A rough log cabin was soon built, which was little more than a shelter from the elements, into which they moved. It had no floor, except the bare earth, nor windows and as for a door, it was simply a hole cut through the logs and no plank shutters, the aperture being closed with a quilt or blanket. It was the time of year to put in a crop and until this was done everything not necessary was dispensed with. Later plank was provided and both a floor and door and a few shelves were added to their primitive home. In this house they lived some ten or twelve years, when the present brick structure was built almost on the exact site of their first cabin.
Her husband, and two out of eight children, remain to mourn their loss. In early life she was a member of the M. E. church in Ohio.
The funeral sermon was preached by Rev. G. H. Clymer of the Presbyterian church, in Casey, to a very large audience of friends and relatives who gathered at the old homestead to attend the funeral.
She bore her sickness which was of several months duration, with noble, christian fortitude. The best medical skill was employed, but to no purpose as she was verging on three score and ten years and that is the allotted time of the human family. She will be greatly missed by her aged husband, who has been her constant companion for almost fifty-five years, and in the words of the divine that delivered the funeral oration, we hope "That their loss is her eternal gain.
