Hello! I checked the Greene Co death indexes for a record for your Absolom but found none.
There were only 4-5 deaths for persons with the last name of Davis prior to 1900. I also
checked the burial listings for cemeteries in Cass, Stafford, Taylor, and Washington
Townships because of their proximity to each other and the area of Newberry/Cass Township
but found no Absolom Davis listed.
An obituary would be a good find at this point. Also, you might want to check Daviess
County death records because Cass Township is very close to the Greene/Daviess County
line. One of my own ancestors was said to have died near Newberry in Greene County in
1908. However, upon checking Greene County and finding nothing, I ended up finding his
death record in Daviess in Elmore Township.
Additionally, older Daviess County newspapers are available in digital format on the
Washington Public Library's website. I've found a few Greene County deaths
mentioned in those. The web address for it is:

Good luck!
