ADAM DAVIS
[Welland Tribune, 1 Sept. 1905]
Treasurer of Haldimand County for 20 years-A Prominent Liberal
Cayuga, Aug. 28-By the death of Mr. Adam Davis the county of Haldimand has lost one of its earliest settlers and most respected citizens. The deceased had for twenty years been treasurer of the county of Haldimand, and previous to accepting that office was reeve of the township of Seneca for a long period and warden of the county. At the general elections of 1986 he contested Haldimand in the Liberal interest against the Hon. Dr. Montague. In his earlier years Mr. Davis was an enthusiastic militiaman holding the rank of captain in the Haldimand Rifles, and an expert rifle rifle shot. In religion he was a member of the Church of England and took a very active part in its welfare. For many years Mr. Davis was an able and fearless magistrate. He will be greatly missed.
