"I was born in Mitchell County, Iowa. My father and grandfather came from New York state to DeKalb County, Illinois. My father, Abija Peck Davis, went from Illinois to Mitchell County, Iowa before the Civil War." Arthur remembered how his family crossed the Mississippi River on a horsetread ferry boat dodging huge chunks of ice. The family came on to Iowa. Arthur also remembered pallbearers carrying his mother's coffin from their home directly to the cemetery and standing by her grave on a cold blustery day when he was nine years old. When asked what first attracted Arthur to his wife, Daisy, he replied. "Daisy DeHaven and her mother came to visit the Spicers. (Daisy's sister, Sarah, married Nathan Spicer.) I was living with my brother, Albert, right across the road from the Spicers. That was in Vidora Township (Cass County, Iowa) about a mile and a half east and two miles south of where Massena is now. Daisy was bright and jolly, easy to get acquainted with. We went together the fall and winter of 1880. She went to school at Victory Center and played with my sister, Alice and the other Davis kids. We went to an occasional party, singing school and on sleigh rides. One day as we were walking home from church at the school house, I asked Daisy to marry me. She replied, "Don't know. You will have to ask Mother". which is what I knew Daisy would say, since she was so young. I asked Grandma, as we all called Daisy's mother. She said no, that Daisy was too young but I didn't have to argue very long before she said yes. We lovered around the rest of that winter and spring. We were married August 24, 1881. But that wasn't the end of the love story. It lasted many years." (56, in fact!) Arthur and Daisy moved to Ottawa, Ks in 1900 and to Michigan Valley, Ks in 1902. They moved to California in 1911. They located on a range near the Empire School in the Kerman area. They were members of the First Christian Church in Fresno. Arthur and Daisy had nine children whom they raised in an atmosphere of love and togetherness. All the children were encouraged to continue their education beyond high school, especially the girls. Daisy died December 11, 1936 at Kerman, Cal and is buried in Belmont Memorial Park, Fresno, Cal.
