John Davis, who has been a citizen of this city for a great many years, and who has been widely known throughout the country as a first-class manufacturer of crackers, died very suddenly and unexpectedly on Thursday evening last. The day previous he had been to South Bend on business, and in the forepart of the day upon which he died he was out upon the streets, but in the afternoon complained some and died about 7 o'clock in the evening. Mr. Davis leaves an interesting family of children to mourn his untimely end.
