Madison Bartlett L Davis was born at the town of Canaan NH on November 12, 1837, and grew to manhood in that vicinity. In August, 1861, he enlisted as a private in Company I, First New England Cavalry, which later became the First Rhode Island Cavalry, and still later the First New Hampshire Cavalry, and served chiefly in the Army of the Potomac. He arose to the rank of corporal and sergeant. In January, 1864, he was discharged from service, but reenlisted in the same company with the rank of orderly sergeant. During almost four years of service he was in many cavalry raids and skirmishes, and had many narrow escapes. He was at the battles of Fort Royal, Cedar Mountain, Groveton, Second Bull Run, Chantilly, Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, and most of the prominent engagements of the Army of the Potomac. He was twice captured and long held as a prisoner - being transferred from prison to prison. Only after great suffering was he exchanged and allowed to rejoin his company. After the war, Sergeant Davis moved to Iowa, was admitted to the bar, and practiced his profession for a time in Fort Madison. In 1874 he moved to Sioux City where he resided until the end of his career on July 24, 1914. He was always prominent in Grand Army affairs, and was one of the organizers of General Hancock Post No. 22, at Sioux City.
