Read More	Death of an Old Settler S.A. [Squire Armstrong] Davis, one of the pioneers of this county, died at his home in Newton township last Thursday [August 30, 1900] afternoon at 5:20, after a lingering illness. He had been sick for nearly a year and for the past three weeks was confined to his bed, growing weaker every day until Thursday he quietly breathed his last. The funeral was held Saturday and was attended by a large number of old friends. Strong Davis, as he was generally known, was born in Ohio June 12, 1833. At an early age he came to Iowa and to Carroll county in 1855, settling upon the place where he died. The first fourth of July celebration in Carroll county was held in 1856 on the grounds where the funeral services were held last Saturday and the old oak still stands under which the declaration of independence was read. In 1857 Mr. Davis was married to Katharine Morris, who survives him. Besides the widow, four children are left to mourn his demise. They are Charles Davis, Mrs. Ida Peed, Mrs. Dina Davidson, Mrs. Cora Anderson, all of whom are living on the home place. Mr. Davis was a veteran of the civil war, having enlisted in 1862. He was sent home when convalescent from his wound. He never entirely recovered his health after the war and it probably hastened his death. The funeral services were in charge of the Masonic lodge of Coon Rapids and the Grand Army post of Coon Rapids attended the funeral in a body. (Carroll Sentinel, Carroll, IA, September 3, 1900)
