Thomas Davison Henry Clay Davison James R Davison Zachariah Davison Sarah Davison Cunning Samuel F Davison Mary Jane Davison Fine Susan Davison Maxwell George Washington Davison Robert Davison Amanda Davison Silas Davison Martha Ann Davison Maryville Daily Democrat Forum (Maryville Missouri) Monday February 8,1915 Buried: Dies from wounds Mrs. Nancy Davison,87,of Hopkins, succumbs. Buried this afternoon. Her dress catching fire from the stove in her room about 11 o'clock Saturday morning resulted in burning Mrs. Nancy Davidson(Davison) living near Hopkins, so severely that she died at 2 o'clock Sunday morning from the effects of her wounds. Mrs. Davidson was 87 years old and a partial invalid. For a number of years she has made her home with her son, Robert Davidson, who lives about eight miles northeast of Hopkins. Saturday morning Mrs. Davidson who supported herself with crutches, was standing near the stove when her dress caught fire. Her son heard his mother scream, rushed to the room and found her skirt in flames. In trying to put out the fire Mr. Davidson's hands and arms were burned. Mrs. Davison was badly burned about her hips and limbs. On account of her age and feeble condition the shock and fright was more responsible for Mrs. Davidson's death than the severity of her burns. She failed to rally from unconscious condition in which her son found her, and death came at 2 o'clock the following morning. Funeral services were held this afternoon at the Union Church east of Braddyville, Iowa and the body interred in the Union Cemetery. Mrs. Davidson is survived by several children. Two sons are residents of Nodaway County. They are Robert and George Davidson. Note: She was buried in Shearer Cemetery, east of Braddyville, Page County. Bedford Free Press (Bedford, Iowa) Tuesday February 16,1915 Lady Near Siam Receives Fatal Burns Mrs. Nancy Davidson(Davison),who lived with her son Robert, southeast of Siam in the edge of Page County, received burns last Saturday from which she died on the following day. Mrs. Davidson was 87 years of age and occupied a room in the house especially fitted up for her. She was alone in this room at the time of the accident and just how her clothing got on fire will never be known. When she rushed from the room her clothing was a mass of flames which her son Robert extinguished as soon as he could reach her, but not until she had received terrible burns. Deceased was the mother of 12 Children, 5 of whom survive her. They are Robert, with whom she lived on the home farm, Thomas of Shambaugh, George of Gravity, Silas of Chaney, Kansas and Mrs. Sarah Cunning of New Market, Iowa. Funeral services were held from Oak Grove Church conducted by Rev. Hunt of Braddyville. Interment was in the Shearer Cemetery. Clarinda Journal {Clarinda Iowa} Thursday 11, 1915 pg. 10-11 At the age of nearly 87 years Mrs. Nancy Davison lost her life from fire at the home of her son, Robert Davison, in the southeastern part of Buchanan Township. She was so badly burned at 11 o'clock last Saturday morning that she died at 3 o'clock the next morning. The aged lady was in the habit of spending much of her time in her room at the home of her son, and the morning of the fatal accident her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Robert Davison, had made a fire for her in her room. Some time later the senior Mrs. Davison came to the door of her room, her clothes on fire. Great effort was made by her relatives in the home to put out the flames, and in doing so her sons, George Davison, of Gravity, and Robert Davison, and Miss Bertha Davison, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Davison, were themselves badly burned. Mrs. Nancy Davison had her clothes nearly burned off, and her flesh was so burned that she could not survive. The unfortunate woman retained consciousness until 6 o'clock in the evening, when she fell asleep, and continued so until her death. Among other relatives of the late Mrs. Davison was the late H.{enry} Clay Davison of Buchanan Township. The Journal has been furnished with the following concerning her: "Mrs. Nancy Davison, daughter of Tom and Sarah Brown, was born March 2, 1828, in the state of Indiana; died Feb. 7, 1915, age 86 years, 11 months and 5 days. She came to northern Missouri with her parents when a child. She was married to Wayne Davison at Savannah, Missouri in 1845, and afterwards came to Page County, where she spent the rest of her life in or near Braddyville, Iowa. To this union twelve children were born, seven of whom have preceded her to the grave, and five survive her. The living are: Thomas Davison, Mrs. Sarah Cunning, New Market; George Davison, Gravity; Silas Davison, Cheney, Kansas; Robert Davison, Braddyville, at whose home she died, and also one stepdaughter, Betsy Nixon, and thirty-two grandchildren, quite a number of great grandchildren, and three great great grandchildren. Her husband died thirty five years ago. She was loved by all who knew her. All her children were at her bedside when she departed this life, except Silas Davison, and stepdaughter, Betsy Nixon."
