Joseph Davis, the first pastor of the town of Holden, was born July 16th, 1720, in Concord, from which town his father, Lieutenant Simon Davis, came to be one of the first set tlers here. The son was graduated from Harva1d College in 1740, and after some study of theology, was invited to the pas torate at Holden. He was ordained December 22d, 1742, at the same time that Ihe church was organized. His only work in life was done in connection with the llolden church and people. He officiated as pastor until 1773, when, at his own request, he was dismissed from the pastorate. He continued, however, to reside in Holden until his death, March 4th, 1799, and on January 2d, 1793, he preached a semi.centennial sermon, which was printed. But little remains to this day which may serve as a basis for characterizing him. His epitaph in the old cemetery at IIolden speaks of him thus : " He was the man of science, and a zealous, pungent Preacher. The affectionate husband. The tender parent. The kind neighbor, and the cordial friend." "A strong and animated faith in the truth of the gospel was the great solace and anchor of his soul." Mr. Davis married Catherine Jones, a native of Wcston, who survived him several years, dying in May, 1815, aged ninety- seven years. The house built by Mr. Davis endured long after its builder had passed asvay from among men. It stood where the residence of Samuel W. Armington now stands, and was familiarly known as the "red house." It was for some time occupied by Lemuel Davis, a son of Rev. Mr. Davis, who later built for himself the brick house at the corner of the common. This man, often familiarly called 'Squire Lemuel Davis, was long an active and influential citizen.
