Biography
Margaret "Cammie" Fulham was the eldest child of William Cameron Fulham and Mariah Louisa Fairchild. Her nickname was "Cammie" but also "Lauck".
She attended public schools in New Orleans. On 26 Apr 1883, she married (1st) a dashing, popular steward on the U. P. Schenck, John Louis Schenck, nephew of the man who operated the steamboat and they moved to Cincinnati, Ohio. Soon after they married, John died and she returned to New Orleans a widow.
In 1885, she married (2nd) Robert Geddes Davies. She and Robert moved to Helena, Montana about 1889 so he could open an office in the territory as a real estate attorney. While there, she managed the home as a boarding house. Some of her tenants were local miners and land speculators. She was apparently not too keen on living in Montana Territory and visited home in New Orleans as often as she could but while there insisted on doing the cooking, cleaning, and laundering wearing all her finest jewelry. The family returned to Hot Springs, Arkansas in 1904 and there she and the family remained their until her death May 22, 1930.

When her only grandson was born in Hot Springs, family in New Orleans were eager to see him and hear about the new member of the family. One day while Cammie was sitting on the porch, a young boy with strawberry-blonde hair walked by and she called him over and asked if she could have a piece of his beautiful red hair. The little kid obliged and she got a lock from him. Later, she wrote a note and included the lock of hair tied with a ribbon in the envelope and sent it to New Orleans. The note said: "I think he [her grandchild] is going to be RED." Of course this shocked everyone because there were no red-heads in the family. That's how her grandson, Robert Woodcock, got the nickname "Red".
