General Notes: Husband - Addison Davidson

---

His education was obtained in the public schools of Bridgewater and Tidioute, Pennsylvania, and for a time after completing his studies he worked in his father's mills. In 1868 he and his brother, William, formed a partnership under the name of Davidson Brothers to engage in the coal business, their field being not simply confined to operating or dealing but embracing both, the coal which they sold at retail being mined in property owned by them and all transactions between miner and consumer being conducted by them. The death of William, about 1872, broke up a prosperous working combination. Addison Davidson then purchased his brother's interest in the business from the beneficiaries of William Davidson's will and until his death conducted it independently, being at that time one of the few first residents of the place still living in Beaver Falls, the town being then known as Old Brighton.
Mr. Davidson was a Democrat in politics, a strong supporter of all the principles of that party's platform, and at one time held membership in the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and the Knights of Pythias.
As Mr. Davidson's material prosperity increased, so likewise did his opportunities for helping his fellow men, and his charities and benevolences, mostly conducted in private, were widely and wisely distributed.
