General Notes: Husband - Robert Lawrence Davison

---

He acquired his academic education in the grammar and high schools of Woodcock Township, Crawford County, Pennsylvania, after which he entered the employ of the Mohawk Milk Company at Saegertown. After about a year, however, he quit to take business courses in the Meadville Business College, and with a certificate in hand returned to the Mohawk Milk Company and a better job. Three years later he started to learn the undertaking business under the tutelage of F. A. Hunter, leading funeral director of that section. While serving what might be called his "apprenticeship," Mr. Davison pursued studies in the Eccles School of Embalming, Philadelphia, and became a licensed funeral director late in 1924.
Mr. Davison became a mortician in Corry in 1925 when he established his own funeral home. He was an Erie deputy coroner, an active Republican in politics, and much to the fore in other phases of local life. He was a past president of the Golden Rule Club, vice-president of the Kiwanis Club, and chairman of the board of the Salvation Army. Fraternally Mr. Davison was affiliated with the Blue Lodge, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons; Chap-ter, Royal Arch Masons; Commandery, Knights Templar; Erie Consistory, Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite, in which he was Past High Priest and Past Commander. Along professional lines he was a member of the National, State, Northwestern Pennsylvania and Erie County Funeral Directors associations, and served as vice-president and president of the latter-named association. Fond of sports and the out-of-doors, he at one time played excellent tennis, was a member of a local bowling club, and was popular in the Corry Rod and Gun Club. He was a Presbyterian in his religious faith, a trustee of a local church, and active in religious and humanitarian works.
