Rains County Leader, October 15, 1920
Another Rains County Land Mark Gone
Mr. E.B. Davis Died at His Home Near Point Sunday Following an Accident
Mr. E.B. Davis died at his home near Point, Sunday evening about 3 o'clock, following and accident which occurred on the preceding Thursday. He had been to the lumber yard for a piece of lumbar to finish some improvements he was having made round his home and in some way the lumber slipped down and touched the horse, which kicked hitting Uncle Ben on the leg, badly shattering it. Medical attention was given him at once, his leg set and he seemed to be doing fairly well when he lapsed into unconsciousness from which he never recovered. "Uncle" Ben, as he was widely known, had lived near Point for many years, being a resident of the County at the time it was organized, coming here from Harrison County, where he was born in seventy-nine. He was a Confederate soldier having served in the War Between the States. Since coming to this county he had been engaged in the cattle business and farming, accumulating a considerable fortune, and the highest respect and good will of a host of friends and acquaintances who all knew him as "Uncle" Ben Davis. He was a Mason, and after services at the home by Rev. Thomas Dement, the Masons took charge and performed the rites of burial at the Lone Star Cemetery, about 4 o'clock Monday evening, the procession being nearly a mile long of those who would pay their last tribute to our fellow citizen. He is survived by his wife and nine children, four boys and five girls, all of whom were present at their father's bedside, namely: Mr. Vance Davis of Oklahoma; Guy Davis of Yantis; and C.P. and Buster Davis of Point; Mrs. Lillie Hale of Louisiana; Mrs. Paddie Howell of Hunt County; Mrs. Ora Prince of Point; Mrs. Myrtle Stewart of Quinlan; and Mrs. Carrie Fry of Lone Oak.
Uncle Ben Davis Dead
Mr. E.B. Davis (or Uncle Ben as he was called by his friends) died Sunday evening about 3:30 o'clock at his residence about one mile South of Point. His death was caused by an accident which happened last Thursday morning while driving his horse to an express wagon with a plank on it. The plank skidded forward and punched the horse and he began kicking and broke Uncle Ben's leg just below the knee. The Doctor set his limb and carried him home, but about 10 o'clock he went off in kind of a stupor or unconsciousness and never knew his folk or friends anymore. Services were held at the family residence Sunday evening and he was carried to the Lone Star Cemetery and there laid to rest on the presence of friends and relatives. Uncle Ben was a unique figure. He lived in Rains County nearly all his life and was always in good spirits. He was in his eightieth year when he died. He leaves a wife and nine children to mourn his loss. The writer had learned to love Uncle Ben.---A Friend.
