James Davidson, son of Jacob and Mary Johnson, was born near Memphis, in Scotland county, Mo. April 21, 1859, and died at his home near Stockport, Iowa, December 1, 1934, at the age of 75 years, 7 months and 10 days.

Besides the wife and children, he is survived by ten grandchildren and one half-brother, Frank Johnson, of Kansas City, and numerous other relatives and friends.

Although having been confined to this bed for almost four years, he was a patient sufferer and many time expressed a desire to pass on to his final home and rest.
