William T. Davis was born somewhere in New York State on Dec. 25, 1834 and departed this life Feb. 22, 1923, his age being 88 years, 1 month, 27 days.
When a small child he with his parents moved to Ohio. Both of his parents died when he was 12 years of age. He later worked his way through the college of Columbus, Ohio.
He came to Savannah, Missouri, and later was married to Betty Hankins of that place, who preceded him to the better world 40 years ago.
When the call for volunteers was made for the Civil War he enlisted in Company C. 12th Regiment of the Missouri Cavalry on the 7th day of Sept. 1863. He served three years and was honorably discharged on the 16th of April 1866 at Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas.
He then served two years in the Indian Wars, traveling by wagon train under Gen. Sherman to Cheyene, Wyoming.
Then with his family he came back to Kansas and settled on the farm on Deer Creek in 1869 on which he has resided ever since.
Three children were born to this union, Mattie Bell Hackney of Delta, CO, James A Davis, and Emma Mae Robinson of this place; three grandchildren, Beulah May Johnston of Topeka, KS, William Vernon Drennen of Marceline, MO, and Leo Davis Robinson of this place; and one great grandchild, Mary Jean Drennen of Marceline, MO.
"Uncle Billy" as he was familiaryly known was a man of culture and refinement, kind and considerate of others and to know him was to love him.
His illness was brief only lasting 24 hours - when he fell asleep - the sleep of peace, leaving the memory of a beautiful life.
