D. B. DAVIS.
D. B. Davis, an enterprising young business man of Ottumwa, conducts two drug
stores in the city and is accorded a gratifying patronage in this connection.
His birth occurred in Appanoose county, Iowa, on the 24th of August 1884, his
parents being W. P. and Alma (Linch) Davis, likewise natives of that county.
They are now residents of Pierre, South Dakota. Six of their seven children are
still living.

D. B. Davis remained under the parental roof until he had attained his majority
and for some time served as deputy sheriff under his father. He enjoyed the
advantages of a high-school education and is also a graduate of the Highland
Park College of Pharmacy of Des Moines, completing the course in that
institution in 1905. Subsequently he undertook the management of a drugstore at
Centerville, Appanoose county, and in 1909 came to Ottumwa, opening the store on
the south side of which he has since remained the proprietor. In 1911 he
purchased the drug store of L. H. Young on the north side and has also conducted
this establishment to the present time. An extensive patronage is accorded him,
for he carries a complete line of drugs and druggists' sundries and both of his
stores are attractive and well appointed. He likewise owns a wholesale and
retail cigar store at Centerville, Iowa, and is widely recognized as one of the
prosperous and able young business men of his community.

On the 14th of March, 1911, Mr. Davis was united in marriage to Miss Pearl F.
Stewart, a native of Des Moines and a daughter of William and Alice Stewart. The
father is deceased, but the mother still survives and makes her home in Ottumwa.
Mr. Davis is a republican in politics but has never sought nor desired office as
a reward for his party fealty. Fraternally he is identified with the Benevolent
Protective Order of Elks and the Yeomen. Mr. and Mrs. Davis are young people of
high standing in the community in which they reside, are sociable and hospitable
to a degree and by their many excellent traits of character have gained the
respect and high regard of an extensive circle of warm friends.
