General Notes: Husband - William H. Davis

---

He accompanied his parents to Washington County, Pennsylvania, in 1854, and grew to manhood there. He received a primary education in the schools of Peters township, and completed a commercial course in Duff's Commercial College, Pittsburgh. After marriage, he and his wife took up their residence on the home farm in Peters township, and remained there until 1881, when they moved to Kansas. After a stay of three years there, they returned to Washington County, where he opened a lumber yard at Hills, on the Chartiers road, which he carried on for six years. The storms and floods in the spring of 1889, resulted in heavy loss to him, as the waters rushing through his yards carried away a considerable quantity of lumber and damaged permanent improvements. In the fall of 1889 he established his yard at Washington, Pennsylvania. Soon after, his cousin, J. K. Davis, became his partner, but he, in the course of a few weeks, sold his interests to W. H. Davis, Jr., another cousin, who continued in the firm until March 21, 1893, when he withdrew, and it was reorganized.
He and his wife were members of the First Presbyterian Church. Politically Mr. Davis was a Republican, but the close personal attention he gave to his extensive business interests did not permit him to take an active part in politics.
