General Notes: Husband - Henry Thomas Davis


He was born in South Wales and was reared there, being eighteen years old when he came to America. By that time he had considerable experience at work in the coal mines. The voyage across the Atlantic to New York, made in a sailing vessel, took six weeks, and he was accompanied by his mother. Immediately after landing he proceeded to the West, his first location being at Lehi, Utah, where he bought a farm and went into the sheep busi­ness, which he continued until 1893, acquiring about two thousand head of stock and sixty-five acres of land. All but about two hundred head were frozen to death in a severe storm which visited the region, and he turned to railroad work, finding a position in the roundhouse of the Oregon Short Line (at that time the Union Pacific) at Lehi Junction, where he was engaged for a period of eighteen or nineteen years, during which he advanced to master mechanic. Eventually, however, he went back to the farm, resuming his agricultural work and keeping a few cattle, and was so occupied until his death. He was a member of the Odd Fellows fraternity there, and a Republican in politics.
