From: The History of Lafayette Co, WI, 1881, pg 789:
"Isaac Davis, farmer, Sect. 26, P.O. Mineral Point; was born in Steuben Co, IN, Nov. 14, 1835; he moved west to Illinois, then to Wisconsin, settling on a farm which he bought of Patrick Meighen; he now owns 250 acres. In 1869, he married Miss Sarah J. Poquette, of Wisconsin; their family consists of Jane C, Ephraim P, Charles H and Adeline E. He is a Democrat; attends the Christian Church. He served in the 12th Wis. Vol. Inf. during the war of the rebellion."
Same source, page 629: Isaac Davis and Nathan and Horace Woodworth were prominent as local preachers from 1840 to 1845."

Dukes Prairie
Since our last letter to the Democrat, one of our old settlers has passed away, namely, Isaac Davis. He was sick but a short time, being taken sick on Thursday and died on Sunday. Mr. Davis was seventy-three years of age and has spent the most of his life here on the prairie.
He was a soldier in the war of the rebellion. He leaves to mourn his loss a wife and eight children and one brother.
The funeral was held at the PM church in Willow Springs, the Rev. Wm. Croft officiating. The G.A.R had charge at the grave.
