Henry C. Davis (June 18, 1848 – August 22, 1889) was an American politician who served as the sixth lieutenant governor of Nevada as a member of the Republican party from 1887 until his death in 1889. He was the first in the state's history to die in office.
Davis was born on a farm in Vermilion County, Illinois on June 18, 1848. He worked as a farmer until he joined the railroad in 1864. Davis moved to Nevada in 1869, where he continued his railroad work.
On September 27, 1881, Davis married a Miss Hopkins, and they went on to have two children.[1]
