Jacob E. Davis, who believed individuals must do their part to build a strong community, served Cincinnati as a leader in business, the law, government and civic affairs.
"The strength of a community is measured by the kinds of people who make it their home. -- Its economy, its industry, its cultural and governmental achievements -- all reflect the spirit, the purpose and the will of its residents," he once said.
He was president of the Kroger Co., chairman of Bethesda Inc., chairman of the Ohio State University Board of Trustees, a founder of the Greater Cincinnati Foundation and president of the Community Chest and Council.
He also was a lawyer, prosecutor, judge, state legislator, member of Congress and special assistant to the secretary of the Navy during World War II.
Mr. Davis, 97, died Friday in Naples, Fla.
A native of Beaver, Ohio, he graduated from Ohio State University and was a member of Phi Beta Kappa. He received a law degree from Harvard University in 1930 and began practicing law in Waverly, Ohio.
He served two terms as Pike County prosecutor, was twice elected to the Ohio General Assembly and was majority floor leader of the House until he became a Pike County Common Pleas Court judge in 1937.
He was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from 1941 to 1943, when he became assistant general counsel of the Department of Navy and a special assistant to Navy Secretary James Forrestal.
Mr. Davis joined the Kroger Co. as a vice president in 1944, was elected a director in 1949, executive vice president in 1961 and president in 1962. He was president and chairman of the company until his retirement in 1970.
