Born: Tennessee, June 10, 1849.
Died:
H. B. DAVIS was born in Tennessee, June 10th, 1849, and was brought up, or rather brought himself up, in Kentucky. He was left an orphan and thrown on his own resources when quite young, and is, therefore, a self-made man. Influenced by a devout reading of the Bible, he made up his mind to obey the gospel, and was baptized by Eld. W. C. Dimmitt, at Caseyville, Kentucky, in 1867. Two years later he was set apart as an evangelist, Bro. Dimmitt assisting at his ordination. After preaching successfully in Kentucky, Missouri, and other States, he came to Texas, and settled with the church at Gainsville, where he now resides and preaches. Bro. Davis is a well read man and his sermon has the ring of pure metal.
