The Rev. Davis is replacing the Rev. Pacifico Camarin, who moved to Minnesota.

The Rev. Davis was born in Waterloo, Illinois, where he received he early education. He later completed his studies for the ministry at the United Theological Seminary in St. Paul. The past three and one-half years he had been at Mellen. Prior to that he had served a four-point hills and plains parish at Hermosa, South Dakota, and then served in a two-point parish of the United Church of Christ in Danville, Iowa.

Mrs. Davis is the former Becky Waste of Mondovi. She is a graduate from Mankato State University. In Minnesota, Iowa, and South Dakota, she taught first and second grades. At Mellen, she did substitute teaching.

Laura, their 13-year-old daughter, is a junior in the Greenwood Community Schools. The entire family enjoys outdoor sports, including fishing, swimming, skating and horseback riding. Rev. Davis also does some hunting.

The new pastor served on the school board at Mellen and is currently chairman of the Division of Youth Northwest Association of the United Church of Christ.
