A. LIVINGSTONE DAVENPORT, junior member of the firm Davenport Bros., booksellers and stationers, Plymouth, was born April 16, 1863 and is a son of Edwin and Mary C. (McAlarney) Davenport, natives of Luzerne county, Pa., and of old historic families of the Valley.
He was educated at the public schools of the place of his birth, which was supplemented with a higher education at Wyoming Seminary, where he graduated in 1882. After completing his course of studies, he returned to Plymouth and was employed as clerk for Charles Shupp for a short time. On January 1, 1885, he and his brother, Stanley W., purchased the business formerly owned by A. F. Levi, and they have since conducted same. The enterprising young man who forms the subject of this sketch has now full charge of the business, which is an extensive one; and judging from his ready business tact, he is fully competent to discharge any and all of the duties connected with it. In politics, he has always been closely identified with the Democratic Party, and in church matters, he follows the precepts of the Methodist creed.
