William T. Davies

Biography

William T. Davies built his reputation as a partner of local industry and a pragmatic voice for his neighbors before taking his seat in Congress to represent Pennsylvania. There he carried the stories of small towns to the capital, championing sensible budgets for waterways and rail lines that kept goods moving and families secure.

In the years following his service he continued to counsel municipal leaders, lend support to charitable boards, and cite the same steady values that guided his tenure in public office, and he rests at Oak Hill Cemetery where neighbors remember his steady hand.
