Davidson arrived in Clayton county, Iowa, on the 25th of October, 1856, and established his residence on a farm near Volga, thus becoming a resident of the county in the pioneer epoch of its history and having here maintained his home for half a century. When the Civil war was precipitated he subordinated all other interests to tender his aid in defense of the Union. He enlisted in Company F, Sixteenth United States Infantry, with which he proceeded to the front and entered upon his strenuous career as a soldier. While with a supply train enroute between Bowling Green, Kentucky, and Nashville, Tennessee, he was taken prisoner by a party of Morgan’s historic raiders, but was paroled three hours later. His exchange effected, he continued in active service during three years of the great internecine conflict, the last year having found him as signed to the position of duty sergeant and his honorable discharge having been received on the 12th of November, 1864. He took part in numerous engagements, including the memorable battle of Shiloh, and proved himself a leal and loyal soldier of the nation, his continued interest in his old comrades having in later years been signified by his appreciative affiliation with the Grand Army of the Republic. After the close of his military career Mr. Davidson returned to Clayton county and here he applied himself finally to the diligent study that prepared him for the legal profession, his admission to the bar having occurred in 1878, since which time he has continued in the active practice of his profession, with high standing as an able trial lawyer and well fortified counselor, and with secure vantage ground as one of the leading members of the bar of Clayton county, where he has appeared in connection with much important litigation during the long period of nearly forty years that have recorded his successful labors in his chosen profession. In 1896 he was elected county attorney, and of this office he continued the incumbent eight years, his administration having been marked by efficiency and having added materially to his professional precedence. His political allegiance is given to the Republican party and he has been influential in its councils and campaign activities in Clayton county for many years. He and his wife became the.parents of four children, the first two being twins, one of whom died at birth, the other twin, Elmer E., dying at Polk City at the age of 9 years. Margaret A. is the wife of Rev. Robert C. Lusk, who is a clergyman of the Methodist Episcopal church and who holds, in 1916, a pastoral charge at Marble Rock, Floyd county, this state; and Wilmer W(1874-1957), immediate subject of this review, is the youngest of the children. -- Source: History of Clayton County, Iowa; From The Earliest Historical Times Down to the Present; by Realto E.
