Frank William DAVIS, of Bakersfield [Franklin County, Vermont], was born 31 
July 1850 in Honeoye Falls [Monroe County], New York, son of Joel C. and 
Martha (MONTGOMERY) DAVIS. He received a good common school education. At 
the age of twenty-four he commenced his business career at East Fairfield 
[Franklin County, Vermont], but in 1878 removed to Belvidere [Lamoille 
County, Vermont], where he has since made his home, with the exception of two 
years, when he was engaged in trade at Bakersfield. From 1889 to 1893 he has 
been in partnership with several others in the manufacture of butter tubs at 
Belvidere Centre [Lamoille County], and the enterprise has proved 
remunerative and been of much benefit to that community. Mr. DAVIS has 
filled all the town offices; for five years has been an active member of the 
Lamoille County Republican committee; represented the town in 1888, and served 
on the Grand List committee, and was its secretary. He is a member of Mount 
Norris Lodge, Free & Accepted Masons; Tucker Chapter, Royal Arch Masons, at 
Morrisville; Burlington Council; and Sterling Lodge, Independent Order of Odd 
Fellows, at Hyde Park [Lamoille County]. Mr. [Frank William] DAVIS was 
married at Bakersfield [Franklin County, Vermont] to Emeroy F., daughter of 
Ira F. and Mahala A. DEAN, by whom he has had three children.
