General Notes: Husband - John L. Davidson


He grew up on the farm, accustomed to industry and the toil of farm life, just prior to the general use of modern machinery. He received his educational training in the common schools and normal schools, and later in Mt. Pleasant college. Before the close of his school days he engaged in teaching, continuing in that profession until after his marriage, when he engaged in mercantile pursuits, and was postmaster at Madison from 1862 until 1869. Removing to Ludwick in 1871, he taught in the borough schools, and again embarked in the hardware and grocery business in Greensburg for a number of years. After retiring from that occupation he resumed his chosen profession, and was thus engaged in the schools of Ludwick. His family were all members of the United Brethren church at Greensburg. In politics he was a republican, and served as justice of the peace.

He and his wife had four children; only one was still living in 1890.
