The young couple moved to Long Island where Mr. Davison plunged into active public life while continuing his private law practice. A son, Robert Baldwin, was born to the Davisons in 1897. He died in infancy. In 1901, a second son, Robert Alfred, was born. He developed diabetes early in life and died shortly after his tenth birthday. Davison House, the Wesleyan infirmary, was given by the Davisons in memory of their sons. Later they donated the bulk of their print collection, one of the largest private collections of its kind containing many etchings and engravings by such masters as Rembrandt, Goya and Daumier. The Davisons also gave 276 gardening books to Wesleyan's new Olin Library. In 1949 the Davisons undertook the restoration and enlargement of a Greek Revival mansion built in 1840 on High Street, Middletown, near the main college buildings. Harriet Davison was herself an avid gardener and a member of the Greenwich Garden Club. In her Christmas 1941 collection of essays, Garden Notes, privately published for distribution to friends and family, Mrs. Davison describes with delight the beauty of the gardens she visited all over the world as she traveled with her husband. Her garden of books continues to bloom and enrich the holdings of Wesleyan's libraries. SIGNED BY AUTHOR! First Edition. FORN-TUB-0102-BB-2610-HK4065. Signed by Author(s).…
