Biography
Edward Davis was born in Appalachia, in Virginia (now West Virginia).
Edward was born in 1870. He was the son of Joshua Davis and Mary Justice. [1][2] He married Mary Romey in West Virginia in 1901. [3] They had one child, daughter Virgie. [4] They moved to North Dakota between 1900 and 1910. [5] Their grandson Leo Erickson lived with them, presumably after his parents' divorce and mother's remarriage between 1910-1920. [6][7][8] Edward passed away in 1946 and is buried near his wife.[9]
