General Notes: Husband - William H. Davis

---

He was reared on the old Davis homestead and obtained his education in the public schools and Washington and Jefferson College, where he attended two years. Upon leaving college he returned to the farm where he was very successful, owning the Littleton Stock Farm as well as two other tracts of land. From 1889 to 1893 he was also engaged in the wholesale and retail lumber business in Washington. In addition to general farming he was interested in coal lands and the development of oil, and for 20 years was breeding high class light weight harness horses, having purchased in New York in 1902 the famous stallion "Moquette," who trotted to a record of 2:10 in 1892, which was at that time a record for four-year olds. This animal was one of the best known horses of his age, having a world-wide reputation.
