A trip in 1947 to southern Illinois by Lloyd, Edith, and son, Wayne, Davis to 
  watch a North-South basketball game in which B.H. Born was playing was the occasion
  which led to Frank Davis' first acquaintance with his relatives in Barber County,
  Kansas. At that time a visit with Frank's other relatives was also enjoyed. Lloyd's
  mother and Frank's mother being sisters, there was much enjoyment in the trip.
     Eleven years later, after Lloyd's death, Frank and I (Edith Davis_ were married
  in the home of my son, L. Wayne Davis of Albuquerque, New Mexico, on Sept. 3, 1958.
  We have lived in Medicine Lodge since then. Our wedding license was also signed by
  a clerk named Davis (no relation), so no other name was on the paper!
     Frank was born August 20, 1903, in Mulkeytown, Illinois, attending grade and high
  school there and in Christopher, Illinois. After his college work in Carbondale and
  Champaign, he taught school for twenty-nine years in that area. He began teaching in
  rural schools until 1945, when he was Superintendent of a Consolidated School.
     His summers were spent doing carpenter work in Defense Plants in that area during
  the war. Frank's carpentering talent was soon discovered at the Christian Church,
  where he built cupboards, teacher's blackboards, desks, and podiums for different
  classes, as well as painting in differnt areas where needed. This talent also comes
  in handy keeping our rental buildings in repair.
     We have enjoyed a trip to Hawaii and Mexico, besides shorter trips in the U.S. We
  keep quite busy with our farming interests, now, besides caring for my mother, Estella
  Furnas, ninety-one years of age, who lives in a home we built for her near us.
     Frank's father, John Davis, lived in Illinois to a ripe old age of 102 years, so
  with that ancestry, we are thankful for good health, which permits us to enjoy life,
  our family, and our friends.
