Harrison E. Davis, son of George W., and Zilpha N. Williams Davis, was born in Lewis Co., N. Y., May 15, 1855, and died at his home in North Loup, Neb., February 27, 1917, in the sixty-second year of his age.
When he was eleven years old the family moved to Minnesota. Here, on December 31, 1874, he was married to Eliza J. Boyd. Four years later they moved to Nebraska, settling in 'Maiden Valley,' some ten miles from North Loup. In 1904, they moved into the village where Mr. Davis was engaged in the furniture and undertaking business which he successfully conducted until about two years ago.
In 1876, while living in Minnesota, he was baptized by Elder Backus and united with the Carlson (Minn.) Seventh Day Baptist Church. Soon after removal to Nebraska he united with the North Loup Seventh Day Baptist Church, of which he remained an honored and faithful member till death. Mr. Davis was a good man, earnest, conscientious and faithful in his service, and will be greatly missed by the church and community.
He was the father of eight children, seven sons and one daughter. The oldest of the family, Mrs. Fannie Lawton, died in Utah, December, 1911. A son, Orville, died March 10, 1888, being two and one-half years old. He is survived by his wife and six sons: Eugene, of Shanghai, China; George, of Jersey City, N. J.; Orson, of San Antonio, Tex.; David, John and Ross, of North Loup; and eighteen grandchildren.
Funeral services were held from the church, Thursday morning, March 1, conducted by his pastor, Rev. A. L. Davis, and the body was laid to rest in the cemetery west of the village.
