The funeral took place at 10 o’clock last Friday morning from the residence of his sister, Mrs. Charles Phillips and interment was made in the I. O. O. F. Cemetery. The deceased was a grandson of Daniel Davisson, a pioneer settler here, and was a brother of Edgar M. Davisson, deceased.

Twenty years or more ago he settled in Iowa but returned here about three years ago and made his home at the Deison hotel. He was married and has a grown family in Iowa. His wife died several years ago.
