In the Elk Run Cemetery in Rockingham County, Virginia, stand 2 tombstones belonging to sisters who never knew the other.
They were daughters of my great-grandfather Walter Davis’s brother Josiah Davis and his wife Elizabeth Frances Powell.
Mary F. Davis lived just one day shy of her first birthday having been born on June 8, 1886 and died on June 7, 1887.
At her back is her sister Cora V. Davis who was born June 20, 1891 and died a couple weeks after her birthday on July 12, 1892.
