ERNEST D. DAVIS
1905-1930
  
ERNEST DAVIS OF PAINTSVILLE AND THOMAS BAYES OF
 WEBBVILLE KILLED; OTHERS INJURED
  
Another tragedy of the highway was enacted last Sunday morning at
2:30 o'clock on the Mayo Trail two miles below Louisa when a car
belonging to a Mr. Norris ran out of the road and plunged over an
embankment and turning over several times instantly killing two of
the occupants and more or less seriously injuring three more of
the five passengers of the car.
  
News of the tragedy was a distinct shock to Paintsville citizens
as one of the dead was Ernest Davis.
  
Ill luck seems to stalk the path of the Davis family.  Only two
years ago, Charles Davis, a younger brother of Ernest met a
horrible death in a railway accident at Thealka, a mile below
Paintsville.
  
Ernest Davis was a ???? young man of excellent ???? many friends
and his death mourned by a large number of people. He is a son
???? of Paintsville, ???? Paintsville High School ???? some time
he had been a ???? employee of the Paintsville National Bank.
  
Funeral services were conducted Tuesday at the Missionary Baptist
Church with burial Tuesday afternoon by the side of his brother in
the Huff Cemetery at the end of the county bridge in East
Paintsville.
  
The body of Bayes was shipped to his home at Webbville.
