Death of Teacher Shock to Vicinity 

Suffering an attack of pneumonia less than a week ago, Miss Ethel Lynn Davis, daughter of Mrs. 
Walter Davis of this place, and one of the most prominent and highly respected young ladies of 
Ebensburg, died at the Davis home at 4 o'clock last Friday afternoon, aged 24 years. News of her 
sudden demise was a severe shock to all Ebensburg.

The deceased was a teacher in the Ebensburg public schools, having been a teacher of Room No. 3 
during the present term.  She had been in her usual place in the school room only a few days ago, 
feeling in the best of spirits.  She graduated from the local high school in 1902 and since then had 
taught a number of terms.  Besides her mother she is survived by these brothers and sisters:  Byron 
Davis of Caroline Street; Elden, Thomas, Harry, Almeda and Walter Davis, all at home.

The funeral was held from the Congregational Church Monday afternoon, a very able sermon being 
preached by the Rev. H. H. Guernsey.  Not for many years has a funeral in Ebensburg been as largely 
attended.  The schools were closed during the afternoon and the pupils in the deceased teacher's 
room were present at the church in a body.  Interment was made in Lloyd Cemetery.
