Neil was born in New Jersey. The train wreck is posted here.

Oscar V. Davis Obit

From the Spokesman Review October 10, 1906 page 7.

This one was interesting as I could not find an A.B. Davis in the
death index for 1906, but I found an Oscar V. Davis, so I checked
the death certificate for Oscar and it had an A.B. crossed out and
Oscar V. written above the crossed out letters. Oscar was born in
Illinois son of Harlan J. Davis and Sarah Price both born in New
York. Oscar is buried in Greenwood Cemetery and Smith's
Funeral Home handled the services.  He was a hotel keeper.
