General Notes: Husband - Wilson C. Davis


He passed his early life at the family home in Washington County, Pennsylvania, working on the farm, and then for some years was engaged in building, until he became interested in the lumber business. In 1886, in company with his brother George B. Davis and O. R. Lake, he started a lumber business at Saltsburg, Indiana County, with which he was thereafter associated, and which was his principal interest in life. The firm of Davis Brothers & Co. was organized in the spring of 1886, but George B. Davis was later in business in Idaho and Wilson C. Davis was the only member of the original firm retaining a share in the business, which was still conducted under the firm name of Davis Brothers & Co. The planing mill and shops occupy a favorable location, and the product consists of lumber, doors, sash and moldings.
He was a school director for twelve years.
