She was born in 1869 on the old George Dewey Sr. farm, two miles north of Toulon.

In 1911 she and John Davis were married. Mr. Davis died in 1913 and Mrs. Davis came west to Okanogan county, Washington, where several of her sisters lived.
Later that year she moved to Seattle to give her niece, Bertha Chase Dewey, the best educational advantages possible. She had cared for Bertha after her mother's death.
She had lived in Seattle for 40 years and was a member of the University Congregational church all of that time.
