Linda,
Per letter from Jim Davis, Honora's and James son, his mother died in1974. Honora was almost 95 when she died.
I could not find Jim Davis birth date,but know I have it somewhere. Jim became known for some reason as Jeff as a young adult. Many of his letters are signed Jim and Gertrude. Neither Jim or his sister Sally had children. Just reading the letters from Jim to Eleanor Munton and Frank Bellrose, you get the picture of an unassuming person, who was close to several members of a spread out family. He did not know me, knew I existed and sent to my father for me many Munton family items. So, I have a special feeling for Jim Davis. After my dad, George Munton died and after getting the letteers from Eleanor, I tried to find Jim Davis. No luck. Someone else lives at his address. My Dad was born in 1911. Jim was probably 4 or 5 years older than Dad. In the period from 1915 to 1920, I guess by pictures, Honora and children Jim and Sally lived with James and Sarah Munton at their 960 acre farm in Kiln, Ms for a year
I have become the benificiary of the family history. For instance,when one of Jim Davis' aunt passed away, he sent to a niece of Sarah Baggott a collection of my great uncle's railroad passes. Jim knew of her husband’s interest in railroads. When he passed away, his wife, my distant coousin, whom I have not met, sent the railroad passes to me. Framed, they make a color collection.
Well, i could go on but will spare you,
Your distant cousin-in-law.
Dick
