General Notes: Husband - Pearl Thomas Davis
He spent his boyhood on his father's farm, receiving his education in the local public schools. On January 1, 1897, he was appointed chief clerk of the Clearfield County Board of County Commissioners and served in this capacity until January 15, 1902, when he resigned to enter the service of the Clearfield Trust Company. Beginning as clerk and messenger, he was steadily advanced to positions of responsibility and within a few years became secretary-treasurer of the bank. Afterward he served as vice-president and treasurer until 1932, when he assumed the presidency of the institution. Taking the chief executive office at the low point of the depression, he was at the helm during the steady climb which was the feature of the next decade of the bank's history.
Mr. Davis was also president of the Clearfield Clay Products Company of Clearfield, Pennsylvania, and president of the Lee Clay Products Company of Clearfield, Kentucky. He was treasurer and director of the Shaw Public Library; treasurer of the P. B. Zentmeier Fund, an endowment used for the support of crippled children; past president of the Clearfield Rotary Club; and a member of the board of governors of the Clearfield Chamber of Commerce. By appointment to fill an unexpired term, he served for some months as county treasurer of Clearfield County and during the administration of Governor Fisher was a member of the State Sanitary Water Board. In addition to these connections, Mr. Davis was prominent fraternally in the Masonic Order, and he was affiliated with Clearfield Lodge, No. 314, Free and Accepted Masons, of which he was Past Master and served as treasurer beginning in 1903; Phillipsburg Chapter, No. 228, Royal Arch Masons; the various higher bodies of the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite, including Williamsport Consistory; and Jaffa Temple, Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, at Altoona. Mr. Davis was also a member of the Clearfield-Curwensville Country Club. He was a Republican in politics and for many years served as a trustee of the Clearfield Presbyterian Church. Fond of the out-of-doors, he found his principal recreation in hunting, fishing and wildlife.
