Davison, aged71, and honorable citizen of Delta for many years, died Sunday afternoon, at the family home on Delta Street. Mr. Davison's illness was only of short duration and his death came as a shock. He has been a resident of Delta for many years and was a master workman in his trade of carpenter and painter. He was a member of the M.E.Church where he has been an usher for many years. His funeral was held from the church, Wednesday afternoon and burial made in Greenlawn. The Pilgrim class attended in a body.(Henry, b. April 26, 1850, d. Jan. 8, 1922 Delta, Ohio, m. Henrietta Clara Hall, dau. of Edwin and Abagail Hubbard Hall) THE OLD LAND MARKS PASS With the passing of Henry Davison the writer is made to pause the moment to think of the rapid passing of the old land marks. In a daily travel up and down the streets for forty five years, and with an intimate knowledge of the people for that long, we find today in Delta, only a few of the people left, who were the active men and women of those days. In memory, we can see Main street as it was then. Today it is all changed. Only just a very few of the old familiar faces are left. The town is all different, the people are new, the customs are new. Those were good days then, and it seems that maybe the people were just a little more happy and content. TO-DAY is always wonderful- but one has to live so long to appreicate how wonderful it is.
