ASA WOODFORD McDAVITT
---Mr. McD. is a representative of one of the best known families in Macon county. Dr. B.C. McDavitt, of La Plata, especially being prominently identified with its material interests, as is also Thomas Waller McDavitt and others. Sketches of the lives of several members of this family will be found on other pages of this History. Asa first saw the light in Randolph county, Mo., and his natal day was August 13, 1845. While young he was brought to Macon county, where his youthful days were passed, remaining peacefully engaged in the pursuit of farming until roused to military action. He was mustered into the service of the United States at Macon City as a member of Co. H, Forty-second Missouri volunteers, and was in the Eastern Department, principally in Tennessee. After a gallant service, he was mustered out during the first days of March, 1865. After having recovered from the effects and ravages of war, Mr. McDavitt was united in marriage July 19, 1868, to Miss Mary M. Murray, daughter of Fielding and Katie Murray, whose maiden name was Dale. The complement of their family circle consists of four children, as follows: Nora K., aged 11 years; Fred, Araminta and Arthur W. One is deceased, Evan L., who died while in infancy in this county. Mrs. McDavitt was born on the 20th of August, 1849, in Macon county, and here her entire life has been spent. She is quite well educated in the English language. In their religious preferences they are both Universalists. Mr. McDavitt moved to Nebraska in the spring of 1873, and was there occupied in farming and stock-raising, but he became satisfied with Macon county as a satisfactory place to follow agricultural pursuits, and accordingly returned here on the 28th of February, 1883. He is now one of the most respected citizens of the township.
