No man in this vicinity will be more missed
than Judge Davis. He has always lived in
this county, has been a successful farmer
and dealer in cattle, and leaves behind a
wide circle of friends to mourn his loss.
He was born in Wheelock, July 5, 1880 and
was the only child of Elisha and Ara bella
(Randall) Davis, and moved to Sheffield
when he was lad of eight years. He had
always lived here since, and he had gained
the confidence and respect of all who knew
him. His education was obtained in
the common schools of his native town,
supplemented with few terms at Danville
and Lyndon, but his best training came
from actual experience in every day life.
In his younger days he taught several
terms of school, being successful. His
business in life, however, was farming and
dealing in cattle and his success along
these lines is too we'll known to need re-
counting. Mr.. Davis had held nearly all
the town offices; he was a staunch repub-
Iican and twice represented Sheffield in
the legislature, in 1857 and 1892. In 1898,
he was elected one of the assistant judges
of the county court, which position
he has filed in very efficient manner.
On March 16, 1859, Mr.. Davis was united in
marriage to Miss Mary G. Ingalls, of Shelf
field. Seven children blessed their union
