    REV. JOHN T. DAVIS was born at Somersetshire, England, November 20, 1838. He

came to New York in 1846, and soon afterwards moved with his parents to Canada,

in 1851. In 1856 he entered the ministry of the Methodist Episcopal church and

for thirty-eight years he was actively engaged in the regular work, but in 1896

on account of advancing years and impaired health, he was compelled to ask of

the Hamilton conference, of which he was a member, a superannuated relation and

retire from the active work of the ministry.



    Mr. Davis, having two sons residing in South Dakota, decided to come to

Faulk county and located at Orient, where he and his estimable wife have since

made their home. In April, 1909, fifty years after they were united in holy

matrimony, they celebrated their golden wedding at their pleasant and happy home

which is located near the Methodist Episcopal church in the village of Orient.
