family were born. There were two daughters
and eight sons who grew to maturity. They
have been a hardy set, those eight Davis men.
The oldest of them is more than seventy, but
as active and energetic as many far younger.
The youngest is fifty-one. Differing widely
in temperament, they were all alike in many
respects. Separated at times by the width of
many states, they were yet clannish to an un
usual degree, holding family reunions as second

ever used any intoxicant or tobacco in any
form, and all prided themselves upon their
abstinence.
Jacob, who died last Monday at the age of
67, was said to have planted more trees, flow
ers and shrubbery than any man in his section
when he lived in Georgia. To quote a niece,
“You could trace Uncle Jake by the things he
planted. He always left a place looking much
better than he found ft.”
That alone would make a pretty good
epitaph.
