Mr. Davisson's Funeral
The funeral services of Ithamar Davisson of Hendricks township, were held yesterday afternoon at Toner's Chapel under the auspices of Shelby Lodge No. 28, F. & A. M. of this city. Rev. J. C. Shull of Flat Rock, assisted by Rev. W. F. Smith of the West street M. E. church of this city officiated. The Chapel was full to over flowing of the friends and neighbors who went to honor and river the memory of one of Shelby county's prominent citizens who had passed over the river of death.
It is said not half of the people could get into the Chapel. It was generally remarked that the funeral procession was one of the longest ever seen in Hendricks township. The remains were interred in the city cemetery which, by the ways, was deeded to Shelby county by Ithamar Davisson's father, James Davisson along in the early twenties of the last century.
Atlas of Shelby Co., Indiana, Chicago: J.H. Beers & Co, 1880,
Ithamar Davison, the present active and efficient member of the Board of Commissioners of Shelby Co., is among the old settlers of this county, and claims a birthright in Addison Township, where he was born on the 25th of November, 1826. His parents, James and Martha (Libby) Davison, settled in the county in 1821, and experienced the hardships of an early settler's life. The subject of this sketch remained at home till the year 1850, working on the farm, except a short time in 1847, when he enlisted as a volunteer in the Mexican war, but soon afterward met with an accident that required him to remain at home. In the spring of 1850, he started for California by the overland route, the company he went with being fitted out at Ottumwa, Iowa. Four months and twenty days were consumed in making the journey, the party remaining in Salt Lake some ten days receiving every kindness at the hands of Brigham Young and other while there. They arrived at Placerville on the 20th of August, in a good, healthy condition. Mr. Davison immediately went into the mines, with a Mr. Marshall, but, after about a month, the snow began to fall, which drove them in the valley. Their mines did not pan out well. He remained in and about El Dorado Co. until 1856, some of the time running a hotel. In the month of May of that year, he left by steamer for New York, via Panama, arriving home about the 20th of June, in time for the Cincinnati Democratic Convention. He soon after went to Iowa, remaining until spring, and then left again for California, going by water. After reaching there, he went into the mines fifteen miles east of Sacramento, on the American River, and remained three months, when he received an appointment as Superintendent of Farming on the Klamath Indian Reservation, where he remained till 1859. He then took a voyage to South America, returning, however, to the Reservation after a short absence of a few months. That winter there was a big flood, which washed the lands so badly as to cause a changed of Reservation to Smith River Valley, forty miles away. Here Mr. Davison went and remained until 1866, when he returned home. In 1864, while in California, he was commissioned as Major of the State Militia; he spent most of 1866 and 1867 in Washington City, attending to official business. He was present at the New York Democratic Convention of 1868, which nominated Seymour. During the winter of 1868, he took a trip to Havana, Cuba, for his health, returning on the same boat, his health much improved. He went home in April, 1868, and spent that summer with his father in Brandywine Township.
On the 30th of December, 1869, Mr. Davison was married to Mrs. Cecilia Peutzer, daughter of John M. and Hannah Dodds, and moved on the farm where he now resides. He has since been identified with the interests of Shelby Co. In 1874, he was elected County Commissioner; was re-elected in 1876; and still holds the position, which he has filled to the complete satisfaction of the whole county. Mr. Davison's mother died in 1854; his father in 1877; they were both members of the Protestant Methodist Church; he was a native of Tennessee, she of Virginia. Mrs. Davison is a lady well qualified to fulfill the duties of a wife; her father, John M. Dodds, was a native of Pennsylvania, and her mother of Virginia. Mr. and Mrs. Davison are at present living on a fine farm of over 300 acres, lying about five miles from Shelbyville, and on the Shelbyville & Marietta Turnpike. It is especially adapted to grain and stock raising.
Mr. Davison may well look back over his eventful life, now in the autumn of his years, and think with pleasure of all he has passed through, and that now he can settled down to a well-deserved rest, surrounded by all the comforts of civilized life, and having the popularity which is due him for his able performance of whatever duties the office which he has so well filled may have imposed upon him.

SENSATIONAL SUIT
----------
Mary Davison Prays for a Divorce
From Ithamer Davison, and Wants $10,000 Alimony
----------
Perhaps one of the lengthiest divorce complaints ever filed in the Shelby Circuit Court was placed on the entry docket this morning. The title of the case is Mary Davison VS Ithamer Davison and the allegations are many. They were married December 1, 1892 and lived together until January 9, 1896, when, as Mrs. Davison alleges, she was compelled to leave her husband. She alleges in her complaint that she had frequently came to this city in company with Mr. Davison and that she would be compelled to go without anything to eat until she returned home, her husband refusing to procure her meals; when she would purchase any dress material of any description, she states he would curse and abuse her, calling her vile and improper names. Once when she was dangerously ill, Mrs. Davison alleges that Mr. Davison refused to allow a physician to be called to prescribe to her wants; she was frequently accused of killing her first husband, whose name was Money. Several times defendant had thrown the furniture out of the kitchen when plaintiff's children would visit her; chickens that belonged to her were not allowed to be fed with defendant's grain; once he sharpened a large butcher knife, so Mrs. Davison alleges, and placed it in her bed in such a manner that it would have stabbed her had she not discovered it. Mrs. Davison states that her husband has property to the value of $30,000 and that she asks a divorce and $10,000 alimony. She is representated by Hord & Adams. The defendant in the suit is well known over the county and is an ex-Commissioner. Plaintiff has been married twice before her marriage to defenadant. Her second husband's name was William Cochran.
