General Notes: Husband - Alexander Davidson

---

He was owner of the well known Davidson oil farm at Petroleum Center, Pennsylvania. The most famous two wells of Pennsylvania, the Maple Shade and Coquette, were located on this farm. These two wells produced over eight million dollars worth of oil in about two years. This farm made Egbert Bros., of Franklin, Pennsylvania, the first millionaires in the oil world. Alexander Davidson sold his farm and moved to Williamsport, Pennsylvania. There he bought two of the finest farms in Lycoming County, making his home on one of them. He also built a large saw mill and ran it for some years. Tiring of this business, he sold the farm and then commenced to raise trotting horses. In this he was very successful. Pilot Medium, one of the world's great trotters was raised on the Davidson farm as well as many other famous racers.
He and his wife were fond of entertaining their friends and extending hospitality and good cheer to many hundreds. He was a fine amateur musician in his young days. He was also a good shot and a famous hunter. For many years he devoted part of each season to the rod and gun.
