Born July 5, 1856 in Henry County, Iowa, Samuel Davis was taken by his parents in the spring of 1858 to Lansing, Iowa, where they made their home until 1875 when they moved to Clayton County, Iowa. There he lived until 1887 when he migrated to Nebraska in a covered wagon. In March 1889 he continued westward as far as Natrona County, his home ever since that time.
Returning to Nebraska he and Alice D. Farmer were united in marriage in March of 1897, at Hay Springs, Neb. In 1900, accompanied by his family he migrated to Wyoming in a covered wagon, homesteading on Willow Creek in the Rattlesnake range country. He engaged in the livestock business until 1918 when he established their home at 1044 South Walnut. The family home at the time of his death was 703 West Eleventh.
The homestead dating from 1901, was situated 22 miles southwest of Casper. There Mr. and Mrs. Davis met successfully the hardships of pioneer life for 19 years. They moved to Casper only when failing health prevented him from working longer. Just recently they sold the old homestead on the Oregon Trail to Jim Cheney.
Mr. Davis was a life long member of the Methodist church. He was a devoted Bible student and recently finished reading it for the seventh time. He was buried in Highland Cemetery."
