JUDGE DAVIS

Hall Davis has been a familiar figure in Clallam for a quarter of a centurary 
past, he settling in the Dungeness valley more than twenty years ago, engaging 
in the pursuit of stock raising and dairing achieving with close attention and 
unremitting industry, remarkable success, accumlating and independent fortune.

During his residence in this county he took an active interest in public 
affairs.  In 1884 he was elected probate judge of this county, a position he 
filled very creditably.

In the management of his Brook Farm Dairy, he took a deep, abiding interest, 
the product from which was famed over the Sound for the excellence of its 
quality, commanding a ready market at a higher price than obtained for any 
other brand.

About three years ago he removed with his family to Seattle, where he proposed 
to spend the remainder of his days in peace, comfort and quiet, removed from 
the scene of the triumphs of his earlier manhood, and had just completed an 
attractive cottage on Queen Anne Hill, when stricken with that dread malady, 
apoplexy, to the fatal effects of which he finally succumbed at the age of 69 
years.

He leaves a wife, six daughters: Mrs. George Kelly, of Seattle; Mrs. William 
Delanty and Mrs. Geo. Cooper of Port Discovery; Mrs. Allen Weir, of Olympia; 
Mrs. W.B. Seymore, of Port Washington; and Mrs. Edward Von Tobel, of Seattle.

A man of strong personality, positive convictions, high integrity, he was 
universally respected by those with whom he came in contact, and will be 
mourned by many friends, who extend sympathy to the sorrowing family in the 
loss of an affectionate husband and a kind, considerate father.
