From Madison Journal January 10, 1941

A negro hunting rabbits came upon the body of Chester A. Davis, 59, formerly of Houston, Miss., late 
Thursday evening, January 2, in the woods north of Tallulah.

Davis had been missing from the home of his brother, V. H. Davis, of Tallulah, since Christmas Eve. 
It was believe that he was an amnesia victim.

Dr. E. O. Edgerton, who conducted an inquest in the absence of Dr. Sevier, Coroner, reported that he 
had found no evidence of foul play.

The body was taken to Houston, Miss., where services were conducted Saturday morning.
