GEORGE H. DAVISON, a native of Bedford County, Penn., was born March 27, 1847, and is a 
son of James and Mary Ann (Hall) Davison, natives, respectively, of Pennsylvania and 
England. James Davison settled in Covington, Kenton County, in 1847, where he was engaged 
as a hat manufacturer; he was born in 1811, and died in 1865. George H. Davison was reared 
in Covington, and was educated in the high schools of that city. He worked for his father 
in the hat store for some time, and afterward for Dodd & Co., in Cincinnati, Ohio; he then 
returned to Covington, and became bookkeeper for W. H. Walker & Co., merchants, in which 
place he was engaged for four years, when he kept books for a wholesale coal company until 
1874. In April of the latter year he was elected to fill an unexpired term of city clerk, 
was afterward re-elected to the same office, and served until 1882, when he resigned and 
became teller in the Farmers' and Traders' Bank. In 1885 he resigned the latter place to 
accept the collectorship for the Sixth District, comprising nine counties, and requiring 
ninety-eight subordinates under him. In October, 1879, he married Miss Kate Knoll, of 
Covington, daughter of Frank Knoll, and three children have bless their union, viz: Laura, 
Mary and Daisy. Mr. Davison is a stockholder in the Farmers' and Traders' Bank, is a member 
of the Masonic fraternity, a Knight of Pythias, a Knight of Honor, and a Democrat politically.
