Friday January 26 LAST RITES ARE HELD FOR DR. W. H. DAVIS
Pioneer Dr. Dies
(picture of Dr. W. H. Davis)
A host of friends gathered at the Presbyterian Church Thursday
afternoon, at 2:30 o'clock to pay a last tribute to Dr. William Harold
Davis, 81, who died at his Arlington home early Wednesday morning. His
passing draws to a close a prominent career as a practicing physician of
Tarrant County for more than half a century. He had been ill for the last
27 months as a result of a partial stroke of paralysis.
Services were conducted by John H. Patterson, pastor, Rev S. M.
Bennett, pastor of the Arlington Heights Presbyterian Church, Fort Worth,
who read the scripture, and Rev. A. W. Hall, of the Arlington Methodist
Church, offering a prayer.
Dr. Clyde Jay Garrett, Mrs. W. L. Hughes, Miss Christine Jones, and L.
H. Flynt, sang "In the Garden" and "Abide with Me." The profusion of
beautiful flowers were mute expression of Dr. Davis' wide circle of friends
throughout the State.
He was born in Smythe County, Virginia, 11 miles east of Marion, Dec.
12, 1859 on his fathers farm. He attended neighborhood school, two sessions
and an agricultural college and two years under a preceptor before he
entered Physicians and Surgeons College, now combined with the State
University at Baltimore, Md. He was graduated from the college at the age
of 21, in time to have his kit packed and go down to Washington the morning
of March 4, 1881 to hear President Hayes inaugurated.
Texas was considered "the jumping off place" at that time, but Dr.
Davis saw opportunity in the new state, and set out on the 10-days trip,
accompanied by his brother. He spent one night in Dallas coming via rail to
Arlington the next day. and spent the night at the (unreadable.....) next
day ??? Handley and decided to locate there.
Dr. Davis spent $25 of his $65 capital for a quick-stepping pony. A
saddle took $l30 more. He accepted the offer of sleeping quarters at the
back of a drug store and waited for his first patient.
Three days later, breaking his picket rope in a storm, the pony was
crippled. It hardly would have been more tragic if the doctor had lost his
medicine kit. The Handley folks, however, were neighborly. They lent him a
horse, and it wasn't long before he got one of his own for treating two
cases of scarlet fever.
Arlington with its bigger population and frequent gun battle looked
more profitable to Dr. Davis after six years of treating Handley's aches and
pains, and he made the move.
Frequently he recalled that at the time he opened his Arlington office
there were seven saloons in the town and seven "feuds" for every saloon.
Consequently, though malaria raged in those days, he administered first aid
for gunshot wounds oftener than he measured out quinine.
After a few weeks he was appointed city physician, a post he held for
20 years.
Once in a wholesale shooting on the railroad station platform on
Christmas Eve, four men were shot to death and another was so seriously
wounded that he lived barely long enough to be taken to the county jail and
made comfortable on a cot. Dr. Davis took him to the jail on a midnight
train and had to wait in Fort Worth until he could get a train back the next
day. When he got back the town was in an uproar. The shooting had been the
outburst of an old fued. Two men came to the doctor and got a list of all
his patients, so that if he were needed quickly it wouldn't be difficult to
find him.
Shortly after he moved to Arlington he joined Dr. H. C. Stevens in
partnership. The very pleasant partnership continued for four years until
Dr. Stevens moved to Fort Worth to practice.
He was active at all times in the social and civic life of his
community. He served as both alderman and mayor. While mayor he signed the
first bond issue for the first sewer system of the town. He also was a
charter member of the Arlington Chamber of Commerce and served it as
president.
He was active in the Fort Worth and Tarrant County Medical Association
and at one time served as vice president of the body.
Dr. Davis also was a charter member of the Arlington Knights of Pythias
Lodge. He was an elder of the Arlington Presbyterian Church at the time of
his death.
Politics was another of his interests. A life long Democrat, at one
time he was a member of the Tarrant county executive committee.
Notwithstanding his other interests, Dr. Davis' chief delight was his
automobile. For more than 20 years he served his patients on horseback,
then by horse and buggy.
When automobiles came, Dr. Davis was the owner of the third one in
Tarrant County.
Dr. Davis is survived by his widow; two sons, Olin Davis, 1419 Thomas
Place, Fort Worth, and Dr. Charles H. Davis, Arlington; two daughters, Mrs.
G. C. Thompson and Mrs. W. Harold Watson, Arlington, and seven
grandchildren.
Pallbearers were Charles Coulter, Walter Leverett, Francis Harvey, Will
G. Hiett, Web Rose, John Houston and Champ Barnes, and George Beggs of Fort
Worth.

Grandsons Act As Pallbearers At R. T. McFadin Rites.
Rev. Ike Sidebottom conducted services at the Moore Funeral Home last
Friday afternoon for R. T. McFadin, 89, who was burned to death Wednesday
night of last week when his farm home, at Webb, caught fire. Mr. McFadin
had been a resident of Tarrant county for eighty years.
The origin of the fire was not determined nor discovered until the
house was engulfed in flames. As Mr. McFadin attempted to make his way out
of the house the roof collapsed pinning him underneath the flames.
Born October 18, 1850 in Tennessee he was the son of Mr. William
McFAdin, who was a racehorse breeder (?) at Kentucky before moving to
Tennessee. His mother was the former Emily Davis, also of Kentucky. At the
age of five the McFadins moved to Texas, and settled in Tarrant County,
Watson community. His friends and younger members of his family have
enjoyed many stories about his early days. In his boyhood he was a cowhand
and later rode as a Texas ranger. He enjoyed reminiscing and his favorite
tales told of the Negro slaves and the Indian raids. He acted as one of the
guards over the graves at Watson community so thickly settled was the
section with Indians. He was present at the first court session ever held
in Dallas County where the jurymen sat on a log on the Trinity River bank.
When Mr. McFadin first came to this country there was only one store in
Fort Worth and Dallas was not known. He grew into manhood and added years
as both these country towns developed into prominent Texas cities. During
these years he started farming near Arlington. He joined the Church of
Christ many years ago, then located at Shady Grove, northeast of Arlington.
Eleven years ago he bought the two-acre plot at Webb. Since that time
he has been retired. He was always interested in the civic and social
developments and gained a host of fiends during his years in this section of
the country. Many feel that with his passing one of the last old land marks
in Tarrant county fades and takes with it one of its beloved citizens.
Pallbearers were grandsons, Harvey Staley, Jack McFadin, Truman McFadin
and Everett McFadin.
Burial was in the Watson cemetery beside his parents who passed away
over sixty years ago.
Surviving Mr. McFadin are his wife, Mrs. Lula McFadin and eight
