Orsen E., of Wheat Ridge, Colo., and Riverside, Calif., died at his Riverside home April 12, 1966. He was a charter member of the Denver Seventh Day Baptist Church and its deacon from 1930 until his death.
Born at North Loup, Neb., Dec. 1, 1887, he was the son of Harrison and Eliza J. Davis. His older brother was Rev. H. Eugene Davis whom he greatly admired. On July 12, 1908, he was married to Maude P.

Gravesite Details
RE: Orsen Davis The markers in the photo are for other people. I included them to show the area between the graves did not have markers. There isn't a grave marker for Orsen or Minnie but they are probably in the same lot.
