    Notes:

    Biography – C. L. DAVIDSON
     Some men are born for a commercial life while others are inclined irresistibly to a professional career. Experience has demonstrated that it is highly important for an individual to follow the pursuit in which he is most interested — the one to which his talents and inclination instinctively point — and it was fortunate for C. L. Davidson, of Virden, that he yielded to his early inclination and became a dealer in horses, as he has proved unusually successful in that line. He is a native of Macoupin County, born in the town of Macoupin, November 21, 1859, a son of Isaac and Ann (Beeman) Davidson, both of whom were born in Illinois. In the family of Mr. and Mrs. Davidson were nine children, three of whom died in infancy, the others being: Uewis, a resident of Hillsboro, Illinois; Sylvester, who is now living in Jersey county; C. L., of this review; Ellsworth, who was killed in a feud between cattle and sheep men in New Mexico; Nettie, the wife of Henry Whitler, of Macoupin county; and Arthur, who is living in Canada.
     Mr. Davidson of this sketch was educated in the public schools and even as a boy was especially interested in horses. He began his active business career as a stock dealer and has ever since continued buying, selling and trading horses, lhere are few men in Illinois who can claim better judgment as to the value of horses. He has been highly successful in his chosen vocation and ranks among the intelligent and reliable dealers of the state. He is also interested in farming and has owned land in Macoupin County, and is now the owner of seven hundred and fifty acres in Missouri.
     On March 29, 1898, Mr. Davidson was married to Miss Hattie Evans, a daughter of William and Louisiana (Noble) Evans, the former a native of Pennsylvania and the latter of Mississippi. Mr. Evans was one of the pioneers of Illinois and his father built the third cabin that was erected where the city of Alton now stands. In his family were eight children, namely: Isabelle, who married Clifford Rowland, of Montgomery county; Henry, deceased; Martha, the wife of James Kidd, of Virden; Mary, who is now living in St. Louis and is the widow of Joseph Baird; Albert, of Montgomery county; William, deceased; Benjamin, who makes his home at Virden; and Hattie, now Mrs. C. L. Davidson. Mr. and Mrs. Davidson are the parents of six children: Mildred, who was born January 20, 1899, and died August 30, 1903; Chester E., born December 13, 1900; Isabelle N., born December 22, 1902; George M., who was born April 29, 1905, and died April 5, 1906; Cynthia L., born February 5, 1907; and Clifford L., born January 30, 1910.
     Mr. Davidson is a second cousin of Hon. William J. Bryan but notwithstanding his relationship to the noted democratic leader he is an earnest supporter of the principles and candidates of the republican party. Fraternally he is connected with the Modern Woodmen of America and the Royal Neighbors. He is a man of large and varied experience and, beginning upon his own account, has developed a business that has brought him a comfortable competence. His affairs have at all times been conducted according to the strictest business ethics. Helpfulness toward others is one of his marked characteristics and many have been benefited by his generous spirit and kindly disposition. Such a man never lacks friends and it is highly to his credit that he posseses the confidence and regard of all with whom he has had business or social relations.
