DAVIS, Fred A.

Arizona Journal - Miner, Prescott, Arizona Territory Tuesday, June 22, 1909, page 3, column 1 Pioneer Passes Away Sunday afternoon, Fred C. Davis, a well known pioneer, passed away after a long illness, due to old age primarily. He was a resident of this section for over thirty-five years, and in early days followed the vocation of placer mining on Big Bug, being at one time engaged with John H. Marion, the journalist of this city. He was familiarly known as 'Dad Davis,' a sobriquet given him on account of his good advice to all, and the sincere manner in which he endeavored to allay evil between mankind on any occasion. He was buried yesterday afternoon, and now rests where so many of the other old pioneers are now sleeping. He was about seventy-two years of age, and no relatives are know of. Transcriber's note: Mr. Davis is buried in an unmarked grave at the Citizens Cemetery in Prescott, Arizona.
