Port Huron Daily Times
Saturday, 6 December, 1873

         CAPTAIN IRA DAVIS, an old and well known citizen, died
       at his residence here on Thursday, aged 56 years. He came
       originally from the vicinity of the St. Clair river, and
       was first known here, many years ago, as an employe on
       some of the steamboats of that day. He sailed the steamers
       "Little Erie," "Gen. Scott," "Fairport" and "John Owen."
       He ceased sailing about 1850, being then largely interested
       in the Cleveland, Sandusky and Toledo lines of steamers.
       At the time of his death he was one of the largest stock-
       holders in the Detroit & Cleveland line. He has been an
       invalid for the past five years, spending his winters at
       the South.
