"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 81, No 4, p 125, July 24, 1916.
Augustus A. Davis, eldest son of Luther L. and Jane Davis, was born in North Hampton, Ohio, August 11, 1837, and died at his home in Jackson Center, Ohio, July 5, 1916.
His early life was spent on the farm and in the schoolroom. His experience as a soldier was quite extensive, having served on General Fremont's bodyguard, thence enlisting, August 14, 1862, as a sergeant in Co. B, 50th Ohio Volunteers, and remained until March 4, 1865, doing faithfully all work assigned. He participated in the grand review in Washington at the close of the war.
September 14, 1865, he was married to Electa L. Maxson. To them were born three daughters and two sons. Besides holding several important offices in civil affairs and fraternal orders, he spent some thirty years as a successful teacher in the schools of Ohio. From the death of his wife, in 1878, to the present time, he has resided mostly with his children; and for the last seventeen years he has lived with his daughter Bertha in Jackson Center. In nature and disposition he was of unusually even temperament. He was a thoughtful and loving husband and parent, a favorite with the children of the community, and a much respected citizen. When about nineteen years old he professed faith in Christ and was baptized by Elder J. B. Davis Into the fellowship of the Jackson Center Seventh Day Baptist Church, where he held membership at the time of his death. He leaves two brothers, four children, eight grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren, besides many intimate friends.
Services were held in the church, July 7, conducted by Pastor Lewis. The unusually large audience expressed the esteem in which he was held. Interment was made in the Seventh Day Baptist Cemetery.
