General Notes: Husband - Isaac Huston Davison

---

He grew to manhood in Venango County, Pennsylvania, first attending the common schools, and later obtaining a practical knowledge of the higher branches in Allegheny College, Meadville. In July, 1863, he enlisted in a state company with which he served for three months, and in July, 1864, he entered the naval service at Erie, Pennsylvania, and was soon afterward assigned to duty on the United States steamship Moose, commanded by Captain Leroy Fitch. He spent one year in the naval service, during which time his ship took part in a number of engagements. At the close of the war he returned to Venango county and engaged in farming and the mercantile business at Sunville in partnership with two brothers. This firm continued about two years, at the end of which time he engaged in agricultural pursuits exclusively until 1878, when he was elected by the Republican party county treasurer. At the close of his official term, at the solicitation of his successor, W. C. Cross, he accepted the deputyship and served as such until 1884. In that year he was again the Republican candidate for the same office, and after an exciting campaign against a popular competitor was again elected. At the expiration of his second term Mr. Davison engaged in the mercantile business in the borough of Polk. He was a member of the Presbyterian church from childhood, and belonged to the congregation at Polk. He was an active member of the I. O. O. F. fraternity, and also of Mays Post, G. A. R., of Franklin. [HVC 1890, 1020]
