The Oakhill Cemetety (Alaska) has these: Section one, Row #2 DAVIS, Margaret B. - b. 1899, d. no date DAVIS, David J. - b. 1892, d. 1959 - WW I Section One, Row #4 DAVIS, Keren - b. 184, d. 1929 DAVIS, T. - b. 1841, d. 1915. Section Four, Row #3 DAVIS, Dollie - b. 1889, d. 1942 - mother DAVIS, David E. - b. June 29, 1918, d. March 26, 1979 - WW 2 Section Seven, Row #2 DAVIS, Anna E. - b. 1891, d. 1970 DAVIS, John W. - b. 1885, d. 1963. The Mount Carmel Cemetery has 35 pages listing the surname DAVIS. This must be what you are looking for: Section 8, Row #19 - All these grouped together: DAVIS, Hopkin, b. South Wales, Mar. 25, 1823, d. Nov. 9, 1895 -72.7.15 Ann C., b. South Wales, June 7, 1830, d. Oct. 22, 1895 - 65.4.15 Evan J., b. Irwin, Glamorganshire, S.W. Apr. 30, 1826, d. July 11, 1895 Margaret, b. Aberdare, Glamorganshire, S.W., June 4, 1830, d. Aug. 8, 1909. I don't know if these cemetery books are still for sale - they were compiled by "Schuylkill Roots" and published about 1989. "Schuylkill Roots" probably has a webpage - they used to print a catalog. Libraries should have this information also.
