Davis, R. Irving, Little Falls, is a native of Little Falls and was born on 
the homestead farm, near this village in 1863.  The family is an old and 
honored one in this State, his ancestors having resided here since the year 
1767.  His great-grandfathers participated in the Revolutionary War.  Mr. 
Davis entered Hamilton College and took a highly creditable cours in that 
institution to the middle of his sophomore year, when other duties compelled 
him to forego the completion of his studies.  He is a member of the Theta 
Delta Chi society of that college, also of the Royal Arcanum, the American 
Legion of Honor, the Red Men and the Grange, and has filled chairs in all of 
the societies.  Mr. Davis is now actively engaged in the real estate and 
insurance business, and in the latter line represents companies whose capital 
aggregates over $3,000,000, including both fire, life and accident insurance 
companies.  Mr. Davis is socially popular and stands high in the estimation of 
the business men and the public generally of the county.  He possesses 
superior business abilities and has had educational advantages far exceeding 
those of business men generally, and all these combine to guarantee him a 
bright future, which he will undoubtedly attain.
