DAVIS, Edmund, Medford (Oregon) Mail, Friday, 27 Feb 1903, p. 6:
Edmund Davis, one of the old and highly respected citizens of
Medford, of which place he has been a residence for the past 15
years, died at the residence of his son, Wm. Davis, corner of B
and 9th streets, on Tuesday, Feb. 24th, 1903.

Mr. Davis was a native of North Carolina, having been born in
that state on March 10, 1818. At the age of nineteen he was
married to Miss Harriet Huffman, who, after a companionship of
nearly sixty-six years, still survives him.

Twelve children were born as a result of this union, nine of whom
are still living. Soon after their marriage the young couple
emigrated to the ten almost unknown west and settled in Illinois,
where Mr. Davis engaged in stock and farming business, which
occupation he followed through successive removals to Iowa,
Kansas and California - ever trending westward - until finally,
fifteen years ago, they settled in Jackson county, where the
venerable couple have since lived, passing peacefully the evening
of life, and awaiting the summons which must inevitably come to
all.

The funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon, services being
held by Revs. Moore and Crandall, and the interment took place in
Odd Fellows cemetery.

Of the nine surviving children, two reside in Missouri, one in
Iowa, three in Kansas, three - W. M. and G. L. Davis and Mrs. J.
T. Eads - are residents of Medford, G. L. being the youngest of
the family.
