Transciption:	FRANCIS DAVIS THE LATE MR FRANCIS DAVIS – The decease of Mr Davis, which occurred last Saturday morning, will have occasioned a wide-spread feeling of regret in Newbury. During a long period of residence in the town, Mr Davis has earned the sincere esteem of a wide circle of friends and there are few names which are more widely resected than his. Although Mr Davis was not one of those whose tastes lead them to an active and continued participation in public affairs, yet he was always ready to do his share in any public involvement, particularly if of a philanthropic or charitable nature, and the confidence which his fellow townsmen reposed in him was evidenced by the fact of his beng chosen some years ago as one of the trustees of the Municipal Charities. We understand that the funeral takes place tomorrow.
	This obituary entry is awaiting verification.
