George Alfred Davis, farmer, Monticello township, was born in the 
township where he still resides, March 21, 1864, son of David and 
Helen (Bailey) Davis, the former a native of England and the latter 
of Canada. The father died in 1900 and the mother still lives in 
Monticello. George Alfred Davis remained with his parents until 
twenty-five years of age. Then he bought eighty acres in Monticello, 
section 6. In 1911 he bought 144 acres in the same township, section 
36, where he has erected a new house and made many improvements. He 
also owns 192 acres in sections 5 and 6, where he likewise has made 
many improvements. He is one of the best known dairymen in this part
 of the county, and in addition to his general farming, makes a 
specialty of thoroughbred Shorthorn cattle. In politics he is a 
Republican. Mr. Davis was married January 17, 1893, to Ina Rawn, 
a native of Denmark, and they have two children: Freeman E. and 
Echo V. The family faith is that of the Advent Church.
