Davidson, Former editor of the Greenville Sun, ex-Master in Chancery of [lond county; stockholder anil manager of the Greenville Lumber Company of the county bar. He has been a man of exemplary habits, kind and courteous and has the honor of living in his old age in the county where he had resided for sixty-two years, having the respect and love of all his neighbors. Two of his sons were admitted to the bar in Greenville. One of them, .Judge Alfred Phelps, living in Denver, is one of the leading lawyers of the state of Colorado, where he has by his marked ability and high demand as a lawyer, accumulated a large fortune.
