Frances M. m-Rhona, they never had any children, but was guardian of the Royal children. I have the Will of Frances. Frances served in the CW. Here is his Obit.F.M. Davis, 82, died this morning at 7 o'clock at his home five miles from Texarkana on the Line Ferry road. This has been the Davis home place for more than forty years, and the deceased was a most familiar figure about the place to passersby who had occasion to use this road in coming into and going out of town and all of whom knew him well. Mr. Davis cane to this section of the country long before Miller County was known, and when the entire section was embraced in the boundaries of what was then known as Lafayette County. He promptly enlisted when the Civil war came serving with distinction throughout the entire period, and returning to Miller County at its close. He is a member of the A.P. Hill Camp, United Confederate Veterans. He is survived by his wife. The funeral will be held tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock at the Harmony church, Rev. John Winham, of Fort Worth officiating. The services at the grave will be in charge of the Masonic lodge.
