My grandmother was one of the Davis girls, a whole bunch of very beautiful, and very protected daughters of her father, Farmer Gus Davis. She was reared with a classical education and taught all seven years of classical Latin. She loved her husband dearly. When he was close to retirement, he was riding his horse over the mountains and spotted an overgrown farm in the valley below and was able to purchase it for taxes from the Knight family and our family went there for vacation for more than 75 years.
She lived to a very old age (102) and was buried in Clearwater, Florida along with her daughter, Eleanor JEAN Evans-Kasse. Our family met almost all of her sisters over the years, mostly at her sister Bess Davis Parks home in Parkwood, Carthage, NC.
