Biography

My actual mother. She m/1 Ernest Lee Summers , m/2 Earl F. Jobe, m/3 Claude Ewin Dodd.

Her name was originally Eva Vinita Davis; but when she got her birth certificate to work at the telephone company, her name was listed just as Venetia Davis (no first name and her name was spelled differently)
