THE PASSING OF YOUNG DAVIS
June 5, 1936
In the death of Young Davis, this city has lost one of its most substantial and loyal citizens. Mr. Davis was a barber by profession, spending the major portion of his life in that work.
However, in the early 1900's he took advantage of every spare moment during business hours and in the evening to study law. He passed a most creditable examination and was admitted to the bar under the late Judge Charles H. Brand. On his admittance to the bar, he practiced in this city for a number of years. Later, however he returned to his first love, the barber business and followed this up to the time of his death.
The members of his family will have the sincerest sympathies of Mr. Davis's associates and friends, in their great grief.
