"The North Loup Loyalist", North Loup, Nebraska, Friday, July 3, 1903, p 1.
Newton Davis, who died at his home in this village June 25, 1903, was born in Clark county, Ohio, June 5, 1834. His father and mother were direct descendants of one William Davis who came from Wales and settled near Philadelphia, Pa., in 1682. Many of the descendants of William Davis moved into what is now West Va., in an early day. There Jacob Davis, the father of Newton was born. They moved into Ohio when the country was a wilderness, where Newton was born. Jacob Davis with his family again changed his residence to Milton, Wis., when Newton was about ten years old.
In 1858 during a revival under the pastorate of Rev. Wm. C. Whitford, afterward president of Milton College, Newton was converted and joined the Milton Seventh Day Baptist church.
He was married in 1861 to Jane Clement, a daughter of Eld. Benj. Clement. Five children, two sons and three daughters, were born to them and with the mother are living to mourn his departure. The family have lived in Minnesota and Iowa, but since 1874 have resided in or near North Loup. Mr. Davis was a valued member of the North Loup Seventh Day Baptist church and faithful to his religious convictions. He was highly esteemed by all as a neighbor and a citizen.
