On This Day - Orvin Davis

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


About 1901


My favorite photo of Granddaddy
 

I don't know how old he was here,
but he was a young man, 
probably in his late teens
or early twenties.
 
Definitely in his prime!

  1. 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.

  2. Orvin was a beautiful baby. And I can see why the second one is your favorite.
