Bio
Mr. Davidson was a victim of cancer. Funeral services will be held at 10 o'clock today (Thursday) in the Methodist Church in O'Neill, Nebraska. The body lies in state at Biglin Brothers Mortuary until it is time for the funeral. Rev. V. R. Bell, church pastor, officiated and burial will be in Prospect Hill Cemetery. Members of the O'Neill Volunteer Fire Department, an organization to which Mr. Davidson belonged since 1925, will act as pallbearers. The late James E. Davidson, Jr. affectionately known to hundreds of people in the O'Neill region as Jimmy Davidson, was born in O'Neill on June 8, 1905, a son of James E. Davidson, Sr., and Anna Hansen Davidson. He never married. He was educated in the O'Neill public schools and upon leaving high school he joined his father in the Davidson plumbing and heating firm. The late Jimmy Davidson was a fixture in O'Neill community life and always was very active in his field, in the fire department and in community events. The late Mr. Davidson always resided in his parents home. Jimmy was an ardent fisherman and all of his leisure hourswere spent fishing in numerous lakes and streams in this territory, and many homes benefited from his fishing successes. The grave will be near that of the late James E. Davidson, Sr., his father, the founder of the Davidson firm a half-century ago, who died in 1942. Three sons have carried on the plumbing and heating business, with Jimmy being in charge of the service department. Survivors include: his Mother; brothers—John, Ralph and Owen, all of O'Neill; Edward, of Casper, Wyo.; Clyde, of Roscoe, Calif.; Lloyd and Frank, of Culver City, Calif.; sisters, Mrs. J. Fred (Dorothy) Degnan, of Buffalo Gap, S. D.; Mrs. O. H. (Frances) Johnson, of Clark Fork, Idaho; and Mrs. Cy (Eileen) Bruning, of San Gabriel, Calif. Contributor: Suzan E (46515864)
