Davis, deceased, was one of Nance county's early settlers and worthy citizens who have done their full share in the building up of that region, using liberally his money and influence to make of it a thriving agricultural section. Mr. Davis was born in Albia, Iowa, July 20, 1853, and was a son of William and Ellen Davis who were pioneers in that state, and raised their family there. He received a good education, pursuing the study of law in his young manhood, and afterwards practicing his profession in Iowa. In March, 1881, he married Elizabeth Allen, also a native of the state of Iowa, the event occurring at the home of the bride's mother, at Newton, Iowa, and they made that vicinity their home up to 1887. At that time, accompanied by his wife and two sons they came to Nance county, Nebraska. They settled on a ranch and remained for five years, then located in Fullerton, where Mr. Davis purchased a residence. He at first ran a grocery store, and later opened a mercantile establishment, continuing up to 1902, when owing to ill health he was obliged to retire from active labor. Mr. Davis departed this life on March 31, 1904, leaving a competence for his family, and his demise was deeply mourned by a large circle of acquaintances.
