A Standard History of Lorain County, Ohio: An Authentic Narrative ..., Volume 2; by George Frederick Wright
Andrew W. Davidson. In the rural districts the honors of politics are usually better bestowed on the basis of merit and qualifications than in the large city communities. At the present time the trustee of Camden Township is Andrew W. Davidson, who was first elected to that office in the fall of 1913 and was re-elected in 1915. Mr. Davidson has for years been recognized as one of the most substantial citizens in the Kipton community and is a man in whom his fellows place implicit confidence both for what he has done and for what he is.
He was born in Russia Township of Lorain County, September 28, 1869, a son of Andrew and Martha (Edgar) Davidson. His father is the venerable Andrew Davidson, and the name of Davidson has for more than half a century been linked with the sterling qualities of industry and integrity in Lorain County.
Andrew W. Davidson grew up on his father's farm in Camden Township, acquired an education in the local schools, and started out when quite young to make his own way in the world. With the sturdy discipline of the farm, he was able to fit in usefully in any employment to which he turned his hand. For seven and a half years he was in the butcher business at Kipton, and in 1902 bought a farm of eighty-eight acres, which has since been the principal object of his energy and ambition. He subsequently added fifty acres to his first purchase, but having sold twenty-five acres his estate now consists of 113 acres. In many ways he has improved his land, and for a number of years has conducted a small dairy, shipping considerable milk to the city centers.
As a result of his growing prosperity Mr. Davidson was able in 1910 to put up a comfortable and commodious two-story frame house, and by home advantages and otherwise he has provided liberally for his family. He also put down a well on his land and has a sufficient supply of gas for domestic uses. In October, 1899, Mr. Davidson married Miss Elizabeth Geist. Her father, Adam Geist, was a native of Germany and when quite young came to Camden Township but is now living retired at Kipton. Mr. and Mrs. Davidson have four children: Mildred A.. Earl E., Florence E., and Melvin Howard, all of whom are at home and are getting their education in the Kipton schools. Mrs. Davidson is a member of the Disciples Church at Kipton. In politics Mr. Davidson has always affiliated with the democratic party.
