By the rude brldg that arched

Their flag to April's breeze un-

Here once the embattled farmers
stood.
And fired the shot heard round

The foe long since In silence
slept;
Alike the conqueror silent sleeps;
And Time the ruined bridge has

Down the dark stream which
seaward creeps.'
On this green bank,by this soft

In the death of the venerable
George B.Davis,of Ithaca,the
County of Tompkins loses one ofItslastremaining:representativesofthatfamousfamilywhosedeedsofvalorand.patriotism havelinkedthnameofDavisforeverwiththeeventsofthestirringtimesoftheRevolutionaryWar.
Today,one may visit the DavisancestralhomeintheTownofBel-for-d,near Boston,built in the oldcolonialway,with apple orchard
separated from the public high-
way by one of the stone fences so
common in Massachusetts,and
which has lost little of its attrac-
tive appearance of a century andahalfage.The property was pur-chased by Samuel Davis In 1696,and has remained for several gen-erations in this family.
The Old North Bridge and "Con-
cord Fight"
The story of the "Concord Fight"at the Old North Bridge on the19thofApril,1775,is both a glor-ious and 'a pathetic tale,for when
the battle had ceased a new nation
of freemen had arisen from the
conflict:but the penalty had been
severe and many a patriot gave his
life that day for the cause of free-
dom from the rule of oppression.
Among those who fell with the first
volley fired by the enemy was Cap-tain Isaac Davis,who commanded
the first column of attacking Minute-
-Men at the bridge.Historians state that CaptainDavishadanticipateddeath. He
had counted the cost of open re-
volt and being a serious,thoughtfulman,had reached an irrevocable
decision which may well be sum-
med up in the words with which he
adldressed his troops just before
the battle.He told them that in
his opinion it was,"a most event-
ful crisis for the free,though he
might not live to see it."He said,"Let every man gird himself for
battle,and not be afraid,for God
is on our side."Let us quote the
epitaph chiselled upon the stone
that marks his resting-plac-e:
The Davis Epitaph"In memory of Captain Isaac
Davis who was slain in battle at
Concord April ye 19th,1775,In the
defense of ye just rights and lib-
erties of his country civil and re-
ligious.He was a loving husband,a tender father,and a kind neigh-
bor,an ingenious craftsman,and
serviceable to mankind died in ye
prime of life aged 30 years 1 M and
25 days."
But a month before the battle at
Old North Bridge,Patrick Henry,
in that memorable speech of March
23,1775,before the Convention of
Delegates of Virginia,said:"Our
Yes
guage:
The Acton Battle Monument
"The Commonwealth of Massa-
chusetts and the Town of Acton,to perpetuate thefameoftheirgloriousdeedsof
patriotism,have erected this mon-
ument In honor of Captain Isaac
Davis and Privates Abner Hosmer,and James Hayward,citizen-soldie-rs
of Acton and Provincial Min-
ute Men,who fell In Concord
Fight on the 19th day of April,A.
D.,1775."
"On the morning of that event-
ful day the Provincial officers hadacouncilofwarneartheOld
North Bridge in Concord;and as
they separated,Davis exclaimed,'Ihaven't a man that is afraid to go!'and immediately marched his com-
pany from the left to the right oftheline,and led in the first or-
ganized attack upon the troops of
George III in that memorable war,
which,by the help of God,madethe13coloniesindependentof
Great Britain,and gave political
being to the United States of Amer-
ica.Acton,April 19,1851."
Emerson's Poem,the "Concord
Fight."
In full view of the struggle at
Old North Bridge,and hardly to be
restrained from entering the ranksoftheMinute-Me-n to battle in
their cause,stood on the threshold
of his own home that day,Rev.
William Emerson,grandfather of
Ralph Waldo Emerson,author of
that beautiful lyric,the "Concord
Fight,"read by its author,and
sung at the dedication of the Bat-
tle Monument at Concord,in 1836.
The poem could not have failed to
have been inspired by the memoryofthatincident.Rev.William
Emerson that day saw the patriotsfallinbattle;and the memory of
their sacrifice impelled him to en-
list for service with the army at
Tlconderoga.Discharged from the
service because of falling health,he
died before reaching home,and
was buried with military honors at
Rutland,Vermont.No more en-
during monument could be placedabovetheresting-plac-e of Con-
cord's heroes,than the beautiful
words of this battle lyric,which
records,forever,the
"Spirit,that made those heroes
dare"
To die,and leave their children
free."
When the events of that 19th of
April,1775,had closed with the re-
treat of the British regulars,there
lay in silent death upon the battle-
field at Concord Bridge,two pa-
triots of the ancestral line of the
Both the Coolidge ad Davis fam-
ilies were later represented in the
affairs of Vermont through emi-
gration of branches of these fam-
ilies from Massachusetts;and both
names appear in lists of the "Green
Mountain Boys."The CoolidgessettledatPlymouth,Vermont,and
the Davis's at Rockingham,about
30 miles south of Plymouth,in Ver-
mont,these branches of the famil-
ies being not much further dis-
tant from each other than had
been the original families in Mas-
sachusetts.
From Vermont,the father of
George B.Davis and Major Lucius
Lane Davis removed to Tompkins
County and settled at McLean.At-
torney Davis is survived by two
daughters,one of whom maintains
a Summer residence in Tompkins
County;and.Major Davis is sur-
vived by three sons now living in
Cortland.
Both Attorney Davis and his
brother Major Davis served in the
Union army throughout the Civil
War,thus assisting to preserve and
maintain the government their an-
cestors had fought to establish.
It is worthy of especial note that
Major Lucius Lane Davis led the
first company of Union troops to
the field of Gettysburg.His regi-
ment had 160 casualties in 30
minutes out of a force of 348.Major
Davis was severely wounded in
practically the first volley,but this
did not deter him from staying and
steadying his men and "closing the
files,"as the battle continued-Majo-r
Davis passed the latter
days of his life in Cortland.One
son,known to most residents of
Tompkins County,is Rowland L.
Davis,at present serving with dis-
tinction as a member of the Ap-
pellate Division of the Supreme
Court.
The question is often asked,as to
how long America will endure.The
answers may vary in terms of years,or even centuries.But in the minds
of true citizens of our Republictherecanbebutoneanswer;and,
that is,that just as long as Amer-
icans strive for, and,if necessary,
give their all for those principlesofjusticeandfreedomfromoppres-
sion for which men like CaptainIsaacDavis,Joseph Coolidge and
numbers of other true patriots
fought and died,America will en-
dure and remain free.
Our faith In the steadfastness of
future Americans to the principles
of our Republic can best be
judged,when we remember that
after the lapse of a century and a
half of national existence,citizens
imbued with the same patriotic
spirit which influenced the patriots
of Revolutionary Days to offer their
lives for American freedom at
Concord and Lexington and on
other battle-field-s,are today en

TheOldNorth Bridge and "Con-
cord Fight"
Thestory of the "Concord Fight"attheOld North Bridge on the19thofApril,1775,is both a glor-iousand'a pathetic tale,for whenthebattlehadceasedanewnationoffreemenhadarisenfromthe
conflict:but the penalty had beensevereandmanyapatriotgavehis
lifethatday for the cause of free-
domfromthe rule of oppression.
Amongthose who fell with the first
volleyfired by the enemy was Cap-tainIsaacDavis,who commandedthefirstcolumnofattackingMinute-
-Menat the bridge.Historians state that CaptainDavishadanticipateddeath. He
hadcounted the cost of open re-
voltandbeing a serious,thoughtfulman,hadreached an irrevocable
decisionwhich may well be sum-
medupinthe words with which he
adldressed his troops just beforethebattle.He told them that in
hisopinion it was,"a most event-
fulcrisisfor the free,though he
mightnotlive to see it."He said,"Letevery man gird himself for
battle,and not be afraid,for God
isonourside."Let us quote the
epitaphchiselled upon the stone
thatmarkshis resting-plac-e:
The Davis Epitaph"Inmemory of Captain Isaac
Daviswhowas slain in battle at
ConcordApril ye 19th,1775,In the
defenseof ye just rights and lib-
ertiesof his country civil and re-
ligious.He was a loving husband,atenderfather,and a kind neigh-
bor,aningenious craftsman,and
serviceable to mankind died in ye
primeof life aged 30 years 1 M and
25days."
Butamonth before the battle at
OldNorthBridge,Patrick Henry,
inthatmemorable speech of March
23,1775,before the Convention of
Delegatesof Virginia,said:"Our

The Acton Battle Monument
"The Commonwealth of Massa-
chusetts and the Town of Acton,to perpetuate thefameoftheirgloriousdeedsof
patriotism,have erected this mon-ument In honor of Captain IsaacDavisandPrivatesAbnerHosmer,and James Hayward,citizen-soldie-rs
of Acton and Provincial Min-ute Men,who fell In Concord
Fight on the 19th day of April,A.
D.,1775."
"On the morning of that event-
ful day the Provincial officers hadacouncilofwarneartheOldNorthBridgeinConcord;and as
they separated,Davis exclaimed,'Ihaven't a man that is afraid to go!'and immediately marched his com-
pany from the left to the right oftheline,and led in the first or-
ganized attack upon the troops of
George III in that memorable war,
which,by the help of God,madethe13coloniesindependentof
Great Britain,and gave political
being to the United States of Amer-
ica.Acton,April 19,1851."
Emerson's Poem,the "Concord
Fight."In full view of the struggle at
Old North Bridge,and hardly to berestrainedfromenteringtheranksoftheMinute-Me-n to battle intheircause,stood on the threshold
of his own home that day,Rev.
William Emerson,grandfather of
Ralph Waldo Emerson,author ofthatbeautifullyric,the "Concord
Fight,"read by its author,and
sung at the dedication of the Bat-
tle Monument at Concord,in 1836.
The poem could not have failed to
have been inspired by the memoryofthatincident.Rev.William
Emerson that day saw the patriotsfallinbattle;and the memory of
their sacrifice impelled him to en-
list for service with the army at
Tlconderoga.Discharged from the
service because of falling health,he
died before reaching home,and
was buried with military honors at
Rutland,Vermont.No more en-
during monument could be placedabovetheresting-plac-e of Con-
cord's heroes,than the beautiful
words of this battle lyric,which
records,forever,the
"Spirit,that made those heroes
dare"
To die,and leave their children
free."
When the events of that 19th of
April,1775,had closed with the re-
treat of the British regulars,there
lay in silent death upon the battle-
field at Concord Bridge,two pa-
triots of the ancestral line of the
Both the Coolidge ad Davis fam-
ilies were later represented in theaffairsofVermontthroughemi-
gration of branches of these fam-
ilies from Massachusetts;and both
names appear in lists of the "Green
Mountain Boys."The CoolidgessettledatPlymouth,Vermont,and
the Davis's at Rockingham,about
30 miles south of Plymouth,in Ver-
mont,these branches of the famil-
ies being not much further dis-
tant from each other than had
been the original families in Mas-
sachusetts.
From Vermont,the father of
George B.Davis and Major Lucius
Lane Davis removed to Tompkins
County and settled at McLean.At-
torney Davis is survived by two
daughters,one of whom maintains
a Summer residence in Tompkins
County;and.Major Davis is sur-
vived by three sons now living in
Cortland.
Both Attorney Davis and his
brother Major Davis served in the
Union army throughout the Civil
War,thus assisting to preserve and
maintain the government their an-
cestors had fought to establish.
It is worthy of especial note that
Major Lucius Lane Davis led the
first company of Union troops to
the field of Gettysburg.His regi-
ment had 160 casualties in 30
minutes out of a force of 348.Major
Davis was severely wounded in
practically the first volley,but this
did not deter him from staying and
steadying his men and "closing the
files,"as the battle continued-Majo-r
Davis passed the latter
days of his life in Cortland.One
son,known to most residents of
Tompkins County,is Rowland L.
Davis,at present serving with dis-
tinction as a member of the Ap-
pellate Division of the SupremeCourt.
The question is often asked,as to
how long America will endure.The
answers may vary in terms of years,or even centuries.But in the minds
of true citizens of our Republictherecanbebutoneanswer;and,
that is,that just as long as Amer-
icans strive for, and,if necessary,
give their all for those principlesofjusticeandfreedomfromoppres-
sion for which men like CaptainIsaacDavis,Joseph Coolidge and
numbers of other true patriots
fought and died,America will en-
dure and remain free.
Our faith In the steadfastness of
future Americans to the principles
of our Republic can best be
judged,when we remember thatafterthelapseofacenturyanda
half of national existence,citizens
imbued with the same patriotic
spirit which influenced the patriotsofRevolutionaryDaystooffertheir
lives for American freedom at
Concord and Lexington and on
