Read More	Josiah (Dick) Davison, eldest son of Hardin and Harriett Davison, was born 6 miles east of Clarinda, Iowa, in East River Township, Page county, Iowa, on the 25th day of September, 1850, and passed away on the 21st day of October 1922, aged 72 years and 27 days. He passed nearly all his life within sight of the home where he was born, except a short residence in Pitkin, Colorado. He passed away at the home of his daughter, Mrs Olive I. Kelly, one mile east of Clarinda, where he was visiting for a short time. He was married to Miss Mary N. Pace on the 27th day of June, 1873. She died Oct 15, 1881, and was buried on a mountain side in Colorado. Dick always revered her memory. To this union was born three children one son and two daughter, Orville I. Davison and Olive Kelly and Estella Everett, all of whom survive him. Very shortly after Mary died Dick returned to Page county, Iowa, where on January 19, 1888, he was married to Miss Mary F. Harris who was his faithful companion the balance of his life. To this union one child was born, Mrs Ethel F. Hamm. Dick has been an invalid for ten years, but his malady has not been acute, until the last three years; since when he has been a great sufferer, and there were times he was momentarily expected to die, but he would rally. He bore his affliction uncomplainingly, being always attended by his faithful wife who tided him over many sharp attacks, when it seemed as if he must die. He had the best of medical attention, but it was of no avail; they could not heal his infirmities, loving care and hands could no longer alleviate his sufferings so he passed to the great beyond. He never became a member of any church, he never was a professor; but he was what is better, a doer of religion; he was a good citizen, a faithful husband, a kind father, a generous friend; he was one of the noblest works of God -- an honest man. He leaves to mourn his loss, his beloved wife, four children and seven grandchildren to which he was greatly attached, Orville I. Davison and Mrs Estella Everett, of Pineville, Oregon, Mrs Olive I. Kelly one mile east of Clarinda, and Mrs Ethel M. Hamm 2 miles east of Clarinda; besides four brothers and three sisters -- Jeptha Davison of Waldron, Colorado, Isaac Davison of Clarinda, Jackson Davison of St Joseph, Mo.; and Erastus R. Davison of New Market, Mrs Nancy Ann Pace of New Market, Mrs Dica Wamsley of Lyons, Colorado, Mrs Eva F. Smith of Omaha, Neb., besides a host of friends and distant relatives. His funeral services were held at the home of his daughter, Mrs Olive I. Kelly conducted by Rev James A. Burns, Christian minister of Clarinda. The floral decorations were many and beautiful. He was buried in Memory cemetery. He was borne to the grave by six nephews, followed by a large concunse [?] of friends. NEW MARKET HERALD, New Market, Iowa, Oct 26, 1922
