J F DAVENPORTWe take pleasure in correcting our statement in regard to the death of Mr J.F. Davenport, of Trenton, last Monday week.
Mr. Davenport was not under the influence of liquor, and his death was either caused by his horse throwing him or from appoplexy. He was a very popular man. Genial, kind and true, he maintained his friendship as only a true man can.

ROBERT DAVENPORTA Sad Death
We were informed Wednesday of the peculiar and sad death of Mr. Robert Davenport, of Trenton, which occurred near that place last Saturday.
The facts as related to us are as follows: He with several friends had been at some country store where liquor was sold.
On the way home the friends separated and nothing was heard of Davenport till the next morning. A search was made for him and he was found lying on the roadside dead with his horse grazing about him. The manner of his death is not explained, but the theory advanced is that he fell from his horse and was killed by the fall, though possibly he may have been foully dealt with. His coffin was shipped from this city Monday afternoon.
