Franklin, March 26 -- I. H. Davison, aged 56 years, ex-county treasurer, a veteran of the civil war, and one fo the best known and highly respected citizens of Venango County, died at his home on Buffalo street, in this city, shortly after noon on Sunday. Death was due to tuberculosis. He had been ill since November 15, 1898, his decline being rapid in spite of all that could be done to stay the ravages of his disease. His death at the time was not unexpected.
He was the son of W. W. Davison, born at Sunville, Venango county, May 19, 1843, and here grew to manhood, first attending the common schools and later obtaining a practical knowledge of the higher branches in Allegheny college, Meadville.
In July, 1863, he enlisted in a state company, with which he served for three months, and in July 1864, he entered the naval service at Erie, and was soon afterward assigned to duty on the United States steamship "Moore," captained by Leroy Fitch. He spent one year in the naval service. during which time his ship took part in a number of engagements. At the close of the war, he returned to Venango county and engaged in farming and the mercantile business at Sunville, in partnership with two brothers. This firm continued about two years, at the end of which time he engaged in agricultural pursuits exclusively until 1878, when he was elected county treasurer in the Republican ticket, the duties of which position he discharged in a manner creditable to himself and satisfactory to all concerned. He served as deputy for his successor, W C. Cross, until 1884. In that year he was again the Republican candidate for the office of treasurer and, after an exciting campaign, was elected. At the expiration of his second term, he engaged in the mercantile business in Polk where he carried on the business until September 1897. Since that time he has been the owner of the hardware establishment formerly owned by Clarke Hayes.
He was married December 1, 1866 to Miss Adaline E., daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. R. Grove, of Venango, who died in September 1885. By that union, four sons were born, three of whom survive, as follows: Dr. H. M. Davison, New Lebanon, Mercer county; William W. and Floyd Davison, both at home. Mr. Davison was married a second time to a sister of his first wife, Clara Ann Grove. in 1888, who also survives. There are two brothers and three sisters surviving, J. A. and C. R. Davison, merchants in Sunville; Mrs. W. J. Cooper and Mrs. Stephen Davis, Erie, and Mrs. John Jennings, Bradleytown.
He was a man of sterling character, who held the confidence and esteem of all his acquaintances. He was an excellent business man, kindhearted and generous. His death will cause wife-spread regret throughout the county. He was a member of the Presbyterian church since childhood.
He was a member of Myrtle lodge No. 316, F. & A. M., of Venango chapter, R. A. M. and of Franklin commandery, No. 44, Knights Templar; and Mays post, GAR, of this city.
Religious services will be held at his late residence on Buffalo street at 7:30 o'clock Monday evening by Rev. W. Y. Chapman, and the body will be taken to Sunville at 8:30 o'clock Tuesday morning for interment. Members of Myrtle lodge will act as an escort to the end of the brick pavement in the Third ward.
Other Davisons in the same plot are Adaline E. (Mrs. I. H.) (1846-1885, buried Oct 22 1907), Clarissa Ann (Mrs. I. H.) (1857-1908, buried Feb 20 1908), Edna (Mrs. Floyd) (1877-1910), George Ervin, (1868-1891, buried Oct 22 1907), H. M. (Dr.) (1871-1909), William M. (d. Jan 26 1946).
