Twenty-five years old he set out for America, arriving in Chicago in the spring of 1873. In the early summer he decided to go farther west and went to Milwaukee, the later, toward fall, came to the then sparsely settled Christiania community. That same fall he was united in marriage to Miss Caroline Anderson of Chicago. Their union was blessed with two children, Dina and Adolph, both now residing on farms close to Elko. The daughter is now Mrs Chris Christensen. In 1878 Hans Davidson purchased a farm in Scott county where he continued to farm until his health broke down. Eight years ago he suffered a stroke in which he lost his speech, and has been poorly ever since, suffering several minor strokes. For the last three months he has been confined to his bed. On Tuesday morning, November 14, 1935, he slumbered away peacefully. His wife preceded him in death on April 22, 1921. They are now entered side by side in the old Christiania Lutheran Free Church cemetery where the family tombstone marks their last resting place.

Christensen of Northfield, student pastor Hinderaker, and the son, Adolph Davidson spoke in turn at the church service which was attended by a church-full of mourners.
