Read More	Published in the Rochester(IN) Sentinel, Friday, July 9, 1897 There was universal surprise in the city, Sunday evening, when a message came announcing the death of Hon. Wm. H. DAVIDSON at his farm residence, one mile northwest of town. It was known that he had been an invalid since he was injured by being thrown from his buggy, nearly two years ago, but he was able to go about and was frequently in town. He was here last Friday afternoon and the next day went to his barn to hitch up his horse to come again but he was found unconscious, in his buggy shed, shortly afterward, and slowly sank to death which came twenty-four hours afterward. Senator Davidson, as everybody knew him, was a modest man and the story of his well spent life was briefly told in the Sentinel some time ago in the following sketch: One of the few men left as a living monument of the triumphant struggle of early days in Fulton county, is Hon. W. H. Davidson, who was born in Ohio 82 years ago. He came to Indiana in 1833 and located in Fulton county in 1836. He worked on a farm in summer and used his earnings in securing an education in the Lafayette High school. He married Miss Nancy S. CHINN in 1840, and to them twelve children were born, only six of whom survive, as follows: Andrew, Frank, Turpie, Lee, Orr and Ty [DAVIDSON]. Mr. Davidson owns seven hundred and twenty-five acres of land just north of the city, the Academy of Music building and other city property. He was elected Senator of Fulton and Marshall counties in 1880, serving his constituency honorably for four years. He made a trip to California in 1852 and has seen much of the country in the western and central states. He deserves well the universal esteem the people entertain for him, and is grandly rounding out one of the most successful careers the history of Fulton county contains. Since this was written the deceased had divided his large farm estate among his children retaining one hundred and forty acres and the Academy of Music block for the use of himself and wife during the remainder of their life time. The funeral service was conducted at the residence, Tuesday afternoon, by Elder LYTLE and a great concourse of people paid the last tribute of respect. John DAVIDSON, half brother of the late W. H. DAVIDSON, came up from Jonesboro to attend the funeral. Andrew DAVIDSON, son of Senator DAVIDSON, came to attend his father's funeral but missed connection at Chicago and arrived here an hour after the burial.
