Katherine DAVIDSON - 16 Oct 1847 - 7 June 1914

"Mrs. Katherine Davidson died suddenly at her home on Green Street; Sunday night, of acute indigestion. Mrs. Davidson fell and broke her arm about two weeks ago, however, the injury had healed and this was in no way attributed to her death. She was up walking about, went to the dining room the day she died and was in unusual good health. During the day she felt sick several times, but the family felt no real alarm, and about nine o'clock, Sunday night, she was taken suddenly ill and died in about five minutes.

"Mrs. Davidson was a most excellent woman - one of the best that ever lived - a devout christian, being a life long member of the Baptist church, and a loving devoted mother, having reared a large family, and her sons are some of the leading, substantial business men of the town.

"Mrs. Davidson was Miss Katherine Jackman, daughter of William Jackman, of the Oil City country, and was sixty-eight years old at the time of her death. Her sisters are: Mrs. Ben Steffey, of Horse Cave; Mrs. Tom Riherd, of Glasgow Junction; Mrs. Shipley of Glasgow Junction; Mrs. Allan, of Oil City, and Mrs. WIlliam Page, of Glasgow. The childen surviving are: Miss Mattie Belle Davidson, Mrs. Wirt Comer, of Nashville; Mrs. Warner Gardner, Messrs. Price Davidson, Herbert Davidson, B. G. Davidson, of Bowling Green, and W. J. Davidson of Burnside, KY.

"No arrangements have yet been made as to the funeral services; as all the children have not yet arrived."

Buried as Catherine Davidson, Glasgow Municipal Cemetery, taken from unknown Glasgow KY newspaper.
