(?) Davy was born at England per 1910 census info, daughter Mary Davy. He married Clara Bell Gebhart, daughter of Albert Gebhart and Florence S. Hipple, in 1902.
Note: No marriage or divorce record found. I suspect this was Charles William Davy, son of Thomas and Martha (xx) Davy, born 6 JUL 1878 and died 18 JUN 1968, buried at Calvary Cemetery, Kettering, Ohio. The Thomas Davy was born in England, consistent with the (erroneous?) demographic informaiton for Mary C. Davy on the 1910 census, which shows her father born in Englad. He was single as of the 1900 census, and divorced and living with his parents as of the 1910 census. His obituary published 19 JUN 1968 lists wife Stella (Kreitzer) Davy, two daughters and three sons, but does not mention a daughter Mary Young. On the 1930 census, Charles Davy is shown as having married Stella at age 40, which would be about 1918.

OBITUARY - June 12, 1898
Daniel Dawalt
The oldest Mason in Washington county and one among the oldest residents, died at his home in Franklin township last Sunday. Daniel Dawalt was born in this county July 8, 1812, and was 85 years, 11 months and 4 days old at his death. His parents came to this county in 1808, from York county, Pa., and both attained a ripe old age - the paternal parent dying at 92 and the maternal at 75. Daniel worked on his parents farm until 24 years of age when he married Sarah Tatlock. He never quit farming but followed the occupation his long life and was very successful in that pursuit. He was, as is stated above, the oldest Mason in this county and was buried with Masonic honors Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock.
It was Col. Henry Dawalt, the father of Daniel, who, as one of three commissioners, laid out the town of Salem in 1814, two years after the birth of Daniel Dawalt. Gen. Clark and John Zink were Germans. It had been proposed to name our town Vernon, but Zink and Dawalt could not pronounce it Vernon, but Wernon. A compromise was made and the place was named Salem.
It was Col. Henry Dawalt, too, who in 1812 raised an army of men and went in pursuit of the Indians who had murdered several of our citizens. The Colonel and his volunteers lost the trail of the red men at Columbus, but on their return, and near Brownstown, they were fired upon by an squad of Indians and John Zink, another of the commissioners who laid out the town of Salem, was shot through the bowels and mortally wounded. He was brought home and died in a few days. His remains repose on the farm now owned by Jeptha Morris.
What a change has occurred since 1812! And what will it be in the next 86 years? Shall we continue to prosper and grow greater? And is permitted the departed to return from across the dark river and visit the old farm and town, the old hills and streams?
Daniel Dawalt was the father of fourteen children, three of whom, only, survive, viz: James B., Samuel B. and Mrs. Richard M. Johnson.
He has living 22 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren. He loved the Masonic order of which he had a continuous membership of 56 years. Five years ago he was stricken with paralysis but bore his sufferings with unusual great patience. As husband, he was kind and patient; as a neighbor, he was generous to a fault; as a man he was honest. His wife, now nearing 82 years, his three children and 31 grand and great-grand-children have the sympathies of his neighbors and friends.

When almost a boy he had charge of a traction engine, spent some time on the railroad, was employed by the Salem Milling Company for quite a while and in recent years became an expert chauffeur and as such, his services were much in demand.
He was married to Miss Nellie Whitson, October 3, 1908, and to this union were born two children, Kenneth and Raymond. He is survived by his two sons, his wife, mother and three sisters.
The funeral service was held at Franklin church, conducted by Rev. M. M. Carmichael, of Little York, Ind. The body was laid to rest in the cemetery.
