Hey, Billy I checked, and the Maryville newspaper will sell you a copy of the obit for $2.95. I searched their archives for October 1997 and found this: ---------------- Publish Date: October 3, 1997 Word Count: 292 Document ID: 1266B5C188C41460 He was preceded in death by parents, Rufus and Frances "Fanny"Loveless Davis; one brother; one sister. Survivors include wife, Lydia Davis; son and daughter-in-law, Billy Glenn and Deborah Davis of Colorado Springs, Colo.; stepdaughter and stepson-in-law, Diana and Thomas Talley of Walland; stepdaughter, Debra Kriese of Maryville; six grandchildren; one great-grandchild; five sisters and other relatives. A memorial service will be held at 4 p.m. --------------- Looks like the right one. This is the link to the archives search engine. If you search for Davis and restrict the date search to October 3, you should come up with the link to order the obituary. I looked in several other places, but was unable to find the article. Sorry!
