The community was shocked last
Wednesday to learn, of the sudden
death of Beverly P. Davenport, president of the Citizens Bank.
Mr. and Mrs Davenport, together
with their son, Arthur L. Davenport,
and wife of Detroit, sojourned in St.
Petersburg-, Florida, the past winter,
as has been their custom for several
years.
They started their trip homeward
on Tuesday, April 15, planning a
leisurely journey by automobile over
a route not previously traveled by
them.
Driving about 135 miles to Ocala,
Florida, on Tuesday he retired that
night in apparent good health and excellent spirits. During the early
morning hours of Wednesday he
passed away peacefully without
awakening.
Funeral services were held on Saturday afternoon at the residence,
conducted by Rev. -Simon Schofield.
pastor of the M. E. church, and interment was in the family lot in
Oakwood cemetery.
Mr. Davenport was a lifelong resident of Saline, and was always
prominently identified with local business and financial affairs as well as
having extensive outside interests.
His passing is a distinct loss to thn
community.
OBITUARY
Beverly Parsons Davenport was
born August 3, 1852 at Saline, Michigan, and died April lo, 1930 at
Ocala, Florida, in his seventy-eighth
year.
He was one of the three children of
William H. Davenport and Zilpha
Parsons Davenport.
He was united in marriage to
Emily Brown Pope in October 1873.
To this union was born one son,
Archer, who passed on in early childhood. He is survived by the widow
and his son by adoption, Arthur
Li. Davenport, of Detroit, Michigan.
He was one of ths two members of
the first senior class graduating
from the present high school.
Early in life he became associated
in business with his father. H-yjvas
cashier of ths bank of W. H. Davenport & Son, bankers, of Saline, from
its inception, in 1885, and occupied
the same (position in the Citizens
Bank of Saline when the private institution was incorporated as a State
Bank in 1902.
Upon the death of his father in
1909 he became president of the bank
in which office he had since continued.
As a young man he united with the
Methodist Episcopal, church in Saline, and for many years he was f
membsr of its board of trustees and
active in its affairs. It was very
largely through the instrum.entu.iity
of Mr. Davenport and his father that
the present fine edifice of this society
was erected in 1899.
He was a patron of various benevolences and charities without ostentation, ever mindful of the scriptural
admonition "let not thy left hand
know what thy right hand doeth."
Cultured, modest, quiet, he was a
banker of the old school in the best
sense tEat the phrase implies, but of
the new in that he kept abreast of
the most advanced thought in his
profession. But of all, he also was
a gentleman of the old school, one
whose habits and actions arose from
right instincts rather than from. the
decrees of social usage.
He has gone on before us a little
while. Some day we shall follow him
and shall not be afraid to walk where
he has walked. His paths were always the paths of honor. I

It is interesting to know that Passion Week services were largely attended and very helpful.
The Easter morning service at 6
o'clock, sponsored by the young people of the three churches, was inspiring indeed. The church auditorium/
was filled. The choir, consisting of
four young people from each of the
uniting churches, gave two excellent
anthems. Mae Scroen, Richard
Cramer, and Evelyn Ernst, led in
prayer. Rev. C. H. Wittbracht read
the scriptures concerning the resurrection of Jesus. The Theme of the
morning was The Living Christ. The
Living   Christ   in   Religion was pre-
, sented by Lorena Bernard. The Living Christ in Politics was discussed
by Jack Arend.   The Living Christ in
.Industry was visualized by Rose Parsons. Rev. Dr. Kircher spoke briefly
on The Living Christ and the New
Crusade.
The 10 o'clock service was equally
helpful. Auditorium filled and extra
chairs required to seat the people.

Talks To Rotarians
Presented   Picture   of   Modern   Day
School Problems and Their
Solution.
A splendid attendance marked th6
meeting of the Rotary Club at The
Tavern last Thursday, and a fine pre
gram featured the day.
In respect to the approach of Eas
ter, E. F. Henne favored the gath-
ing with a wonderful Rendition o.'
"The Holy City," with Mrs. Merrit
Martin at the piano. Edward never
was in better voice and all thoroughly enjoyed the selection.
This was Tom Nurnberger's day tc
give a vocational talk, and he responded nobly.
He briefly traced the beginnings ot
education in thisi country, from the
early days when it was the product
of the church down to the present
system we enjoy. The first definite
law regarding education was passed
in Massachusetts in 1642-47, requiring towns to maintain schools' for
the young.
Mr. Nurnberger interspersed his
remarks) by a couple of very apt stories which created quite a little merriment, in contrasting what a lot of
people imagine is required of a superintendent and what is actually required of him.
He brought out very forcibly the
importance of the job of being at the
head of a modern school, with its
multifarious duties and exacting responsibilities; its importance to society, selection' and supervision of
teachers, economical administration
of affairs, etc.
The course of preparation for a su-
perintendcy in this day and age requires many years of close application to study, which is at once expensive, and a teacher is worthy of his
hire. To insure a competent staff at

in the welfare of pupil and public,
great care is necessary in selection]
and once secured good teachers and
executives should be kept in one institution as long as possible .and appreciated recognition given in period

ST. PAUL'S CHOIR SINGS
TO  A  CROWDED HOUSE,
A congregation that taxed the capacity of the St. Paul's church
greeted the choir of that church on
Sunday evening. .
We came to hear the Easter Cantata, "Life Eternal," by Fred B. Hol-
ton, given by the vested choir. We
came with great expectations and we
were not disappointed. Eighteen
voices, under the direction of George
Schmid, Jr., sang in excellent voice
and with expression and feeling in
keeping with the great theme of the.
cantata.
To attempt individual praise is in
vain for none can be excluded. The;
appreciation of the people was fittingly texpressed by Rev. Wittbracht in,
his remarks and expression of thanks ;
to the choir and director at the close (
of the service. )
The people of Saline ought to fully
appreciate   the  opportunity   afforded,
them in such musical programs and i
talent as was presented Sunday evening. * j,

THE WILLING WORKERS      ,
The club met with Mrs. Mary Mc-
•Mann and daughter, Miss Ella, April
17 for an afternoon meeting, with 36
in attendance despite the inclement
weather. The president, Mrs. Hallie
Mehler, opened the meeting by reading the 15th chapter of St. Mark.
A song by the club, "Oh! Thou Almighty King," was Sung, and then
followed the business session. Roll
call was answered by naming some
illustrious person and relating something about their lives. A son, "Living for Jesus," -was sung by the
Mesdames Craig, accompanied on the
piano by Mrs. Helen Craig Pierce.
The program was short but very interesting.
A reading by Mrs. Agnes Osborne,
"The Two Clocks;" a playlet, "Howj
the Story Grew," was very amusing.
The Mesdames Hammond, Hanson
Gordon and Gilbert took the parts-.
After that a very social time was
had, followed by a delicious supper
served by the hostesses.
The next meeting will be held at
the home of Mrs. Mattie Craig, May
15. Roll call, something about the
month of May, its flowers, its birds,
or if the birth month of some person
of note, or some May happening in
your own life, thus giving a wide
scope so that no one need simply
answer present.

during the day had a largely increased attendance.
