Betty I'm pretty sure his name is Davis from the following transcription of a newspaper clipping on ancestry: Highlight of the evening was a "This Is Your Life" program honoring Mrs. Leona Davis, in appreciation of her outstanding christian service to her home and to her church. (Note: Logan Street Baptist Church is mentioned under the photo above the article) The program was opened by the presentatino of a corsage of white carnations from Mrs. Davis' grandchildren. Events in her early life were related by: her brothers, Roy Goddard and Kirby Goddard, of St. Louis, Mo.; school-mates Zola Estes and Estelle Donaldson; Mina Smith, a sister-in-lay and Nera Bennett, a member of the first Sunday school class taught by Mrs. Davis.... (note: blurried and hard to read the rest of the paragraph). Events in family life were unfolded by the children: Mrs. Wilma Ruth Jenkins, L. Noel Davis, Mrs. Faye Reynolds, Mrs. Norma Lee Huffstutler, Mrs. Betty Martin, and Mrs. Marie Goddard, a sister-in-law. Source: Mt. Vernon Register-News, May 16, 1956 page 7 posted on ancestry.com I think this obit of a son also confirms the surname of Davis: Mt. Vernon Register-News January 8, 2007 Leonard Noel Davis, 86, of Mt. Vernon died at 4:30 a.m. Friday, Jan. 5, 2007, at Missouri Baptist Hospital in St. Louis. He was born June 9, 1920, in Mt. Vernon, son to Thomas Leonard Davis and Lucy Leona (Goddard) Davis. On June 1, 1947, he married Freda Burns in Mt. Vernon, and she survives. Mr. Davis attended Field Grade School and Mt. Vernon Township High School. He also graduated from the University of Illinois with a bachelor of science degree in architectural engineering. He worked at Mt. Vernon car Shops for two years in the early 1940s and served in the U.S. Navy for two years during World War II. Mr. Davis worked for Wilson and McCoy Architectural Firm early on and later opened his own private practice, which ran from 1957 to 2004. He was a member of American Institute of Architects and designed many churches and schools throughout Illinois. He taught night classes at Rend Lake College and Southeastern Junior College in the mid-1970s. He also taught architecture at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale for 11 years in the School of Technical Careers from 1979 to 1990. He was a member of the Logan Street Baptist Church for 77 years and twice served as interim music director. He enjoyed playing the guitar and the French horn. In recent years, he worked as a consultant for P.E. Cross. He also designed and built set scenery and wrote music for the King City Theater Company. He was also very interested in genealogy. Services will be held at 10:30 a.m. today at Logan Street Baptist Church in Mt. Vernon with the Rev. Mike Steed officiating. Interment location has yet to be disclosed.
