On 12 December 1899, my granddaddy Orvin Owen Davis was born to Walter and Mary Frances Jollett Davis in Shenandoah, VA.

It's definitely hard to see the man he would become in that earliest photo...and so serious in all but the second, where he has a hint of a smile. What a wonderful collection of photos.
