Obituary: taken from newspaper death notice:
Daniel E Davis
Daniel E Davis died at his home on West Main St at 5 o'clock last evening. Mr Davis had only been confined to his home since Saturday and his critical condition when made known to the family by the physician was a great surprise. But few people outside of his family knew of the venerable old gentleman's illness, and the news of his death last evening startled the community. Had he lived until the 14th of next month, Mr Davis would have been 78 years old as he was born on that date in the year 1814.

In 1839 Mr Davis and his wife came, by the then slow and irksome means of travel, from Middletown, Dauphin county, to Somerset. After his arrival here he followed his trade, shoemaking, for a number of years. He was appointed court crier by Judge J. S. Black, and served as such in the old stone court house, and for many years after the new temple of justice was built. He was a fortunate possessor of a happy disposition, and was honored and respected by all who knew him. He was formerly a member of the church of God, or Winebrennerians (Baptist); later a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, and for probably the last fifteen years a devoted member of the Disciple church (Protestant).

Town of Harwich.
by JOSIAH PAINE esq.

There are many yet living who remember when the houses were few in number and far apart. Records show that for many years before 1753 the territory upon which the village stands was held by Ephraim Covel, who lived near Grass pond: but at which date, he being dead, it was in possession of his daughters, viz.: Thankful, wife of Edward Nickerson; Sarah, wife of Benjamin Nickerson: Mercy, wife of Samuel Burgess; and Mary, wife of Thomas Burgess. Three of the aboveThankful, Mercy and Marywere at that time living upon the tract, though not in what is now the village. The Burgess' possession was the western part of the tract which extended westerly from the Salt Water pond between the shore and lower end of Grass pond, while the Nickerson's was the eastern portion bordering Cold brook and Andrew's river on the east and Grass pond on the west. Up to 1804 there were no public roads leading to or through "inland," as it was then known. The way from the Centre by the east end of Grass pond was crooked and through bars most of the distance. This way was made a town road in 1831, with some alterations in its location at the Port. The way through the village, now Main street, was laid out in 1827 as a county road by the county commissions. Most of the old ways at the Port years ago, and remembered by the aged of to-day, were made by Ephraim Covel for his convenience, and the Burgess who succeeded to his estate in the "inland."
