Mrs.
Walter
Davis
and
children
Leaving
the
old
home
place,
where
we
romped
and
played
and
worked
in
our
boyhood
days,
we
first
came
to
the
home
of
Uncle
Ashmore
McLeod,
where
the
afternon
before
the
fire,
B.
G.
McLeod,
his
wife
and
little
child
were
happy
in
the
contemplation
of
what
life
held
in
store
for
them,
but
the
morning
after
the
home
was
closed
and
it
was
sad
to
pass
it
by
and
no
one
there
to
greet
you,
no
one
to
feed
the
chickens,
who
were
sauntering
about
as
if
in
search
of
Eva;
and
there
sat
the
rocking
chair
on
the
front
porch
just
as
she
had
left
it
on
the
fatal
night.
Out
about
the
barnyard
there
was
no
one
to
feed
the
hogs
or
look
after
the
cows
and
mules,
and
a
look
of
desolation
was
everywhere
in
evidence.
A
few
hundred
yards
away
was
Miller
McLeod's
place,
having
no
one
to
open
unto
you
the
door
that
always
stood
ajar
for
a
friend,
and
that
was
sad.
But
about
400
feet
from
that
spot
we
were
to
meet
a
sadder
picture
still.
For
here
Walter
Davis
had
spent
many
years
in
building
up
a
beautiful
home,
years
he
had
spent
in
toil
for
those
he
loved,
and
now
he
had
been
called
home
to
find
it
vacant
of
his
devoted
wife,
a
sweet
Christian
woman,
and
without
guile,
and
three
sweet
children
swallowed
up
in
the
flames.
Well
the
agony
of
soul
through
which
our
neighbor
and
kinsman
was
passing
is
beyond
description
and
also
beyond
comprehension,
except
to
those
who
have
passed
through
like
sorrow.
There
was
his
fine
Duroc
hogs.
There
was
his
poultry.
There
were
fine
cows,
fresh
in
milk.
There
were
the
beautiful
flowers
in
the
yard,
on
the
porch,
everywhere.
There
were
the
things
about
the
house
placed
in
order
by
the
deft
hand
of
his
own
dear
wife,
and
there
the
tracks
of
his
own
dear
children.
He
had
recently
gone
to
a
tuberculosis
hospital
for
treatment,
and
how
could
he
stand
the
strain
to
his
physical
strength
as
well
as
the
weight
that
was
pressing
down
upon
his
very
soul?
Did
you
ever
hear
a
man
cry
whose
soul
was
in
deep
anguish?
Well,
we
heard
it
on
the
morning
of
our
visit
to
this
home,
that
the
day
before
was
happy,
but
now
desolate,
and
disconsolate,
for
no
words
were
able
to
console
him
and
it
was
a
full
day
before
he
could
see
how
he
could
leave
the
spot
made
hallowed
by
the
work
and
walk
of
his
bosom
companion
and
the
prattle
and
companionship
of
his
children
and
the
flowers
and
things
so
fragrant
with
the
aroma
of
spring,
and
yet
sweeter
still,
with
the
association
of
loved
ones
now
no
more.
But
he
overcame
it
in
due
time
and
before
we
returned
to
our
home
in
the
City
by
the
Sea
he
was
wending
his
way
back
to
the
place
where
a
hope
was
held
out
that
some
day
he
might
be
well
again,
but
with
a
hope
that
was
brighter
and
sweeter
still
that
some
day
he
would
be
reunited
to
those
whom
fate
had
torn
asunder,
and
the
two
bright
children
who
had
been
bereftt
of
a
faithful
mother
were
placed
in
the
home
of
a
brother,
W.
S.
Davis,
of
Columbia,
where
they
will
be
cared
for
as
best
they
can.
But
there
can
be
no
one
to
take
the
place
in
their
little
lives
that
was
so
well
filled
by
their
own
dear
mother,
who
in
every
good
word
and
work
was
superb,
and
many
besides
the
immediate
friends
will
mourn
the
death
of
this
good
woman
and
her
bright
little
lambs
that
Jesus
has
taken
into
his
lap.

Further
research
needs
to
be
done,
but
a
marriage
year
of
1874
is
not
unreasonable. Note:
the
