Isaac Davis

Isaac Davis, one of the highly respected pioneer citizens of Le Sueur County, Minnesota, is a Canadian by birth and comes of ancestry which is traced back to the Welsh and French. He was ushered into life near Montreal, Canada, March 20, 1835.

He was reared on his father's farm in Pike County, Illinois, and received his education by attending the public schools, by home study and by actual business experience. He was nineteen at the time they moved to Minnesota, and he remained a member of the home circle until his marriage, which important event in his life was consummated in December 1855, the lady of his choice and whom he wedded being Miss Catharine Pettis. She was born near Warren Trumbull County, Ohio, a daughter of New England parents and a representative of a family long resident in this county and prominent and influential. Her father, Charles Pettis, was a son of Col. Stephen Pettis, of the War of 1812; was born in Vermont, became a pioneer of eastern Ohio, and from there moved to Pike County, Illinois. Her mother, whose maiden name was Sarah Horsford was a native of Connecticut, and a member of a prominent early family of that state. After his marriage young Davis and his bride began housekeeping in a little log cabin on a forty-acre tract of land, were industrious and frugal, and as a result of their early years of toil are now in possession of a competency and are surrounded with all the comforts and many of the luxuries of life. Today he is the owner of three hundred acres of land, one of the finest farms in the community; has a commodious and attractive residence, beautiful for situation and surroundings; large barn, sixty-fiveby fifty-four feet in dimensions, built on rock foundation; modern windmill for pumping water for house and stock-in short, a model farm.

Mr. and Mrs. Davis had twelve children, of whom nine are living, namely: William, Winslow, Charles, Clarence, Edith Glover, George, Cordelia, John and Harry.

Edith Glover and Cordelia are engaged in teaching. The three deceased were Orville, who died at the age of twenty-eight; Earnest, at six months; and Stephen at four months.

Mr. Davis is a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows & affiliates with the lodge at St. Peter. Mrs. Davis, like her mother, is a devoted Christian woman and holds to the creed of the Advent Church.
