1918

The REVEREND GEORGE MOULTON DAVIS JR., considered by many as the leading citizen of New Rochelle, N.Y., distinguished in numerous civic activities, died on February 11. After an illness of more than three years, death came to him in New Rochelle Medical Center's Extended Care Pavilion at age 77.

His ancestors came to New Rochelle in early times and in 1864 organized the undertaking service which continues with the name George T. Davis, Inc. George, with other members of his family, was associated with the firm throughout adult life, until his final illness, when the firm was sold.

During World War I, George was a lieutenant in the 26th Infantry Division. Being wounded near Coutagay, France, he received the Purple Heart and Silver Star. During World War 11, he was chairman of Civilian War Services and director of the local Red Cross.

In 1928, George was appointed by the Mayor of New Rochelle to the Board of Education which he served for 30 years, being president the last 14 years. In 1952 the newly erected elementary school was named The George M. Davis Jr. School in his honor.

Because of his interest in history, especially local, he became the City Historian.

The inspiration in this man's life was his sincere Chris- tian faith. At age 59 he realized a life ambition when he was ordained to the Episcopal priesthood and became assistant rector of the Trinity Episcopal church of New Rochelle, a church founded by Huguenots in 1688. He had been baptized and confirmed in that parish, sang in the choir, served as acolyte, lay reader and vestryman, and taught Sunday School of which he was placed in charge when ordained as a deacon. Besides his earned A. B. degree from Dartmouth College, Arnold College awarded him the L.L.D. for distinguished service as a citizen. At college he became a member of Sigma Chi.

George Davis was a man of many interests and service to others as Past Commander of the American Legion Post 28, Past President of the Huguenot and Historical Association, one of 40 founders of the New Rochelle Lions Club, holding memberships in the local Recreation Commission, The Rotary, Elks, Huguenot Lodge F. and S. M., Veterans of Foreign Wars, Society of the Ist Divi- sion A. E. F., County Historical Society, Art Associa- tion, University Club and Amateur Athletic Union.

Throughout all this most active and varied life he was first of all a family man where wife, daughter and the' grandchildren who survive him were his greatest concern and joy. Mrs. Davis lives at 16 No. Chatsworth Ave., Larchmont, N.Y.

Thus has 1918 and Dartmouth lost a most sincere person, one of the saints of life who was modest in his quiet, friendly way, yet exceedingly effective in service to society. Certainly his life demonstrates the purpose of Dartmouth and all higher education - a better world, a better community, for being a part thereof. He lived such a life!

Prior to that he had been Manager of Employee Relations of the Chemical Coatings Division of the Mobile Chemical Company in New York City. Peter also served as a Director of Personnel at Celanese Plastics Company in Newark, N.J.

John Cunningham, one of our classmates who was a close friend of Peter, sent along some notes which would hopefully better describe the kind of person Peter was, and perhaps it is fitting that some of John's comments be incorporated in this notice. "Pete's energy in real part came from his physical strength which was considerable as anyone who ever engaged in a friendly wrestling match with him or went up for a rebound against him in an intra-fraternity basketball game would remember. If there was a distinguishing part of his character I would say it was his uncompromising honesty.... To know someone like that is to make you ashamed of the banality that often poses as the produce of your mind. ... In the best sense of the word he was a man."

Peter is survived by his widow, the former Margaret Hubbard; their three children; his mother; and a brother. To his near and dear ones the class extends its deepest sympathy.
