General Notes: Husband - Joseph Davis


He was located in Penn township, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, engaging in general farming. He had a farm of 147 acres, which he purchased of Jonathan Wall, and substantial buildings erected. He was also interested in lumbering.

He was the eighth born in a family of ten children. His schooling was in Penn township, where he made the most of his opportunities and even attended one term after he had reached his twenty-first year. Farming and working in the woods at lumbering occupied his time until he purchased his farm. He was one of the progressive farmers of Penn township and was a charter member of Penn Grange.
He was a prominent member of the Society of Friends and in 1904 was sent as a delegate to a convention of this church held at Toronto, Canada. In politics he was a Republican and served as auditor, treasurer and school director in Penn township. He was a stockholder in the Curwensville National Bank at Curwensville.
