General Notes: Husband - Robert James Davidson
With only the advantages of a common-school of that early day, he fitted himself by private study for a teacher, and was engaged in teaching for some ten years. He possessed great love for the profession, and was very successful, and most of his time was employed in his own home-district.
He resided on the farm settled by his grandmother Davidson.
In politics he was a Republican, though he valued principle above party. He was for a number of years a member of the board of school-directors of his district, and served both as secretary and president.
For many years he was connected with the Methodist Episcopal Church, and for fifteen years or more he was superintendent of the Sunday-school.
